Hello,
Sory replied to an earlier question first. Since there are stubborn patches, so you may need oral antifungals or immunomodulators for which I suggest you to consult and discuss about these with your dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Hello,
Since this cream contains natural or herbal constituents, so unfortunately I am unaware of these or their side effects. It is best to consult a cosmetologist and ask about this cream.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Bump, I guess what I am asking is if the Seborrheic Dermatitis can be controlled using the two creams I was given then why haven't I noticed any improvement over the past 4-5 months?
Hi, thank you for the reply. Like I stated my dermatologist told me to use these creams twice a week, and I have been doing so since Novemeber. He told it comes and goes, but with treatment it can be controlled. However, like I stated I have yet to see any type of improvement from when I started using the two creams back in November.
Also is it possible it will go away on its own over time?
Hello,
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp. under the nose or anywhere on face. People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil). Later, pityrosporum yeast grows excessively in the sebum, sometime along with bacteria, making the dermatitis more persistent.
Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches and these have been prescribed to you by your dermatologist. Oral antifungal drugs and immunomodulators such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in very severe cases. You can talk about these with your dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
