Effective Topical Formulation

Topical preparations containing Se sulphide are frequently used for the treatment of tinea versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff. However, the Se from these preparations is not absorbed by the skin (104). Se can be effectively absorbed transdermally when applied as SeMet, giving increased skin and liver levels of Se after topical application of 0.02% SeMet to mice (105).
