Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition.

Cortisone injections may help you.

Also you can use sebowash shampoo.

This will help in controlling the sebum production.

When the inflammation decreases you can use minoxidil lotion,

This will promote hair growth.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
