Isn't it weird when you go to fill a prescription and the prescription reads differently than what your doctor prescribed?

I've had a prescription in my purse since earlier this year. I dug around in my purse/wallet to find it today, because I'm itching ALL OVER. Urgh. Anyway, the dermatologist definitely prescribed a medication for my head according to our office visit. But, the prescription said to apply it to my ears. 🤦‍♀️

What?

I don't understand how doctor offices mess that up. If I got it filled, I don't know if the pharmacy would have specified the exact area, but still...

By the way, it is a prescription for dandruff. My head was itching.

you don't need that Rx

half organic apple cider vinegar/half bottled water in spray bottle. wrap towel around neck, spray scalp thoroughly, let sit about 15 mins, shower and wash hair like normal, repeat every other day for one week or more if any itch remains. wash bedding and hats every third day. wash hairbrush and combs in same half/and half solution each time you treat your scalp.
