Ultra has some really good gentle shampoos and conditioners. I use to buy a lot of products from them.

Rachael, I think it’s safe to use for several weeks, but check with your doctor to make sure. If your protopic is burning, another question to ask about. It’s better for your doctor to know than we tell you something that is wrong. Your doctor has your records and he knows what is best for you.
