Hello, you are having seborrhiec dermatitis on scalp and acne vulgaris. Acne lesions may be increased by dandruff. Use ketoconazole containing shampoo daily at bath. Use steroid lotion on scalp at night. Apply clindamycine + adapalene gel at night only on lesions. Cleanse the face with acmed face wash thrice a day. Take tab. azithromycine 500 mg once a day for one month, then same tablet thrice a week for 6 months. Avoid milk, ghee,spicy food. Avoid tension and be happy. You will feel better. Ok

Hi Raksha,
Thanks for writing to us.
To treat your dandruff problem( seborrheic dermatitis), you may start using an anti dandruff shampoo every alternate day( keraglow AD shampoo or scalpe ). Also use a steroid lotion over scalp like zydip lotion in night. Hopefully in few das your dandruff will subside. Once your dandruff has cleared off, just continue with the shampoo once in a week.
Seborrheic dermatitis can present as itchy red scaly bumps over face. So firstly it has to be seen whether the lesions over face are acne lesions or lesions of seborrheic dermatitis. I would advise that you consult a dermatologist for the same, so that appropriate treatment can be started.
Hope that helps! Take care
