How To Treat Dermatitis And Care For A Bed Ridden Person?
My father is completely bed ridden due to ALS and can only be bathed with a sponge. He also has a neck fracture which makes it impossible to wash his head as needed, very good, considering he has Seborrheic Dermatitis . Is there anything I can do to keep this under control and will he be worse since he is constantly laying on the back of his scalp.

Hello,
You can use antifungal ointments such as clotrimazole or miconazole. Also, you can use shampoo lotions with ketoconazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
