Hi,
I can understand your concern for seborrheic dermatitis.
DIPROFOS in injectable form contains Betamethasone Dipropionate /Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate which is steroid based injection.
This injection is used only in severe form of disease state where there is excessive of erythema or scaling is present.
I suggest you to shift to oral medications and topical steroid based creams such as clobetasol or mometasone to apply.
For itichign part you can take cetrizine or loratadine 2-3 times a day if itching is more pronounced.
Take care.
