23 year old male with seborrheic dermatitis

.hello, i'm 23 year old male i have a minor version of seborrheic dermatitis. a dermatologist told me that a few years ago. my face and in between my eyes get red and flaky..ive noticed now its kinda bad behind my ears in my hair its raw and dry. just curious what you would recommend to treat this,  i use t/gel shampoo but it doesnt seem like it helps too much and ive tried head and shoulders etc but that seems to dry me out and make me itch even more. thank you for your help.

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. Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches. Oral antifungal drugs and immunomodulators such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in very severe cases.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.
