Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for writing to us. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic eczema which also has a fungal etiology. It can be frustrating for the patients at times due to its recurrent nature. I usually treat SD by using oral steroids, oral antifungals, isotretinoin, topical shampoos and steroid antifungal creams. I would appreciate if you could send me few pics depicting your SD lesions esp over scalp, so that I can prescribe a customised treatment plan. Once it is under remission, we can use minimal drugs to keep it under control. Hoping to hear from you soon. Take care

Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for uploading the pics. Had you been my patient I would have prescribed these medicines 1) keraglo ad/protar k/salisia kt shampoo, to be applied every alternate days over scalp for five to ten minutes then washed off. 2) mometasone or betamethasone lotion every night over scalp Once the scalp is completely clean, just use shampoo once or twice a week. 3)for skin lesions, you may use mometasone terbinafine combination cream like momoz t twice in a day till lesions resolve. 4) if the lesions are persistent and recurrent then sometimes I add tablet terbinafine 250 mg daily for two weeks. You may start with topical treatment to control SD. Once response is achieved, start minoxidil 5 % 1ml twice in a day along with a hair supplement like androanagen once daily atleast for five to six months for hair growth. Your hair fall could be because of dandruff as well as male pattern baldness. Hope this helped. Take care
