Climbazole
Climbazole is a topical antifungal agent commonly used in the treatment of human fungal skin infections such as dandruff[2] and eczema. Climbazole has shown a high in vitro and in vivo efficacy against Malassezia spp. that appear to play an important role in the pathogenesis of dandruff.[2] Its chemical structure and properties are similar to other fungicides such as ketoconazole and miconazole.

gollark: 3MB, but yes, grafana is a bit bee in that area.
