The length of time it takes for symptoms to improve after using selenium sulfide will depend on your condition. If you are treating scalp infection or dandruff, your doctor may recommend that you use selenium sulfide for several weeks in order to see an improvement in symptoms. For people with tinea versicolor (a type of skin infection that discolors the skin), results may be noticeable within a week. Even if you are noticing an improvement in symptoms, it is important to continue using selenium sulfide for as long as your doctor recommends.
