What Is The Treatment For Seborrhea Dermatitis And Psoriasis While Getting Treated For Arthritis?

I have developed what my dermatologist calls seborrhea dermatitus and psoriasis of my scalp. I have been trying to bring it under control by a number of means. Prescription shampoo, vitamin D ointment, over the counter shampoo by Neutrogena that removes the build up, etc. Nothing seems to work. I have developed neuralgia from shingles. I have osteo-arthritis and am a 71 year old woman.
Do you have any suggestions? I was just given some samples of Promiseb topical cream, and haven't used it long enough to make any determination about it.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Trial of using Ketoconazole shampoo is worth considering for treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Further management of psoriasis will depend on severity and distribution of the lesion.
Suggest you to get back to Healthcare-Magic with details and clinical photograph.

Take care

Best Regards
