Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition that can affect various areas of the body, particularly those rich in sebaceous glands. While there is no cure, several effective treatment options are available to manage symptoms and control flare-ups. Treatment typically involves topical medications such as medicated shampoos, creams, and lotions, but in some cases, oral medications or other therapies may be necessary.

  • These contain active ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione to reduce flaking, itching, and inflammation on the scalp.

  • These creams, gels, or foams containing agents like ketoconazole or ciclopirox help control the overgrowth of Malassezia yeast associated with seborrheic dermatitis.

  • These anti-inflammatory medications, such as hydrocortisone creams or foams, can quickly reduce redness, scaling, and itching in affected areas.
