Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I an dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern
You seem to have Seborrheic dermatitis (SD). SD may present with redness, itching, scaling/ flaking in scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes and sides of nose.
SD is a steroid responsive dermatosis.
I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream (Flutivate cream) over the affected areas, twice daily for 2 weeks.
