Sebclair is sold under the prescription name Promiseb in the US. It is available from Europe without a prescription. It has a gentle anti-fungal, plus lactic acid instead of salicylic acid. So it deals with the scaliness while also moisturizing instead of stripping the skin.

Side effects can occur, however, usually with overuse. These ordinarily take weeks to months to appear and include skin thinning, stretch marks, easy bruising, dilated blood vessels and, less commonly, increased hair growth. Using topical steroids on the face may cause a red rash around the mouth or an acne-like rash.

In addition to its corti- costeroid-sparing role, the anti-fungal activity of Promiseb may permit dermatologists to decrease their reliance on topical antifungal agents.

Key points about seborrheic dermatitis

It tends to last a long time, or go away and come back. It is often made worse by cold weather, hormonal changes, and stress. Symptoms can include skin that is bumpy, scaly, greasy, and itchy. Treatment such as medicine in shampoo, body wash, and lotion can reduce symptoms.

Your health care provider might prescribe a prescription-strength corticosteroid you apply to the scalp or other affected area. These include hydrocortisone, fluocinolone (Capex, Synalar), clobetasol (Clobex, Temovate) and desonide (Desowen, Desonate). They are effective and easy to use.

Regardless of the part of the body where seborrheic dermatitis forms, it tends to permanently disappear between 6 months and 1 year. This skin disorder might go away without treatment. However, you might need repeated treatments before the symptoms disappear. The symptoms of this disease can also return later.

Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition that causes erythema and flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily sebaceous gland rich areas, such as the scalp and nasolabial fold. Seborrheic dermatitis can be a symptom of vitamin B6, biotin and zinc deficiency.

Should you wash your hair everyday if you have seborrheic dermatitis? ›

Not necessarily. Depending on your hair type, you might benefit from a daily wash, but most people don't actually need to shampoo their hair every day. That's because doing so can strip your hair and scalp of essential nutrients, which may actually end up making seborrheic dermatitis even worse.

While there are no good clinical studies, yeast and mold elimination diets may be helpful for people who have a difficult time controlling their seborrheic dermatitis. This entails eliminating breads, cheeses, wine, beer, excessive carbohydrates, and other foods made by yeast or fungi.

Elsewhere on the body

Seborrhoeic dermatitis is typically quite mild elsewhere. Anti-yeast creams or ointments are usually effective and can be used safely in the long-term. Examples include clotrimazole, miconazole and nystatin. They are sometimes combined with a mild steroid for a few weeks to settle inflammation.

We recommend moisturizers like Aveeno, Cetaphil, CeraVe, and Eucerin. Avoid products with dyes and fragrances. If your scalp is affected, regular use of a dandruff shampoo will be beneficial.

ZORYVE cream is indicated for topical treatment of plaque psoriasis, including intertriginous areas, in patients 6 years of age and older. ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, is indicated for treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in adult and pediatric patients 9 years of age and older.

Topical steroids. One of the most commonly prescribed medications for all types of eczema is topical corticosteroids, or steroids for short, which can reduce inflammation and itching so that the skin can begin to heal.

Mild corticosteroids, such as clobetasone, hydrocortisone skin cream and hydrocortisone for piles and itchy bottom, can often be bought over the counter from pharmacies. Stronger types, such as beclometasone, betamethasone, clobetasol, fluticasone and mometasone, are only available on prescription.

This medication is a mild corticosteroid.
