Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic This looks like you may be having seborrheic dermatitis; seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition characterized by faintly red patches, itching and yellow, greasy adherent scales. The scales when scraped or forcibly removed with fingers reveal a slightly oozing surface which quickly dries up/scabs over again. The condition is thought to arise a result of interplay between factors like inflammation and overproliferation of the yeast, malassezia furfur. Whether inflammation is the result of yeast overproliferation or independent of it is not exactly known. If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to us an OTC antifungal shampoo e.g 2% ketoconazole shampoo, daily or once every alternate days. The role of antifungals in seborrheic dermatitis is to keep malassezia furfur under check and thus benefiting the condition. Seborrheic dermatitis is a steroid responsive dermatosis. Some dermatologists may choose to prescribe a topical steroid lotion, twice daily for initial 2 weeks for faster improvement. Steroids rapidly control the inflammation associated with seborrheic dermatitis. Thereafter the improvement may be sustained with just an antifungal shampoo. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful. Your dermatologist would be able to assess the condition and prescribe you accordingly. Regards
