Hi

I do understand that this may be discomforting and frustrating for you. This sounds like a case of seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis presents as  greasy and yellowish scales on the body. This may involve areas of the face, chest, and scalp. Definite cause for seborrheic dermatitis is not known. Yeast infections have been associated with this. I would suggest that you continue with your medicated shampoos. There is really no definite treatment for seborrheic dermatitis. If the condition is severe, topical corticosteroids may be able to help. Discuss this with your dermatologist, so that the corticosteroid with the right potency be given you. Also, frequent and vigorous shampooing is important.
