I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis and I'm using Onabet SD solution. I'm a bit unsure about how long I should leave it on my hair before washing it out. Also, how many times a week should I be applying it for the best results? Any advice would be really helpful!
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For Onabet SD solution, apply it to the affected scalp area, leave it on for 1-2 hours or overnight before washing, and use it 2-3 times a week for 2-4 weeks or as directed by your doctor for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.

View allI'm struggling with a pretty uncomfortable jock itch, and I'm not sure which anti-fungal cream would be better for meLulifin or Quadriderm? Also, are there any other medications or treatments that you'd recommend for this type of issue? I've tried over-the-counter stuff, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Any guidance would be great!
The best anti-fungal cream for jock itch is lulifin cream. You can apply lulifin cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. In addition, you can take oral anti-fungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat jock itch effectively.

I've been dealing with scalp folliculitis for a while now. My dermatologist said it's from a bacterial infection that can spread from the nose to the scalp. These bumps are oval and white. When I'm on medication and use cream, the folliculitis goes away after about a week. But as soon as I stop taking them, the bumps come back all over my scalp. Is there anything I can do to manage this without relying on medication all the time? I'm worried about becoming dependent on it. Any alternative remedies or methods I could try?
Sounds like you are experiencing recurrent scalp folliculitis despite completing a course of medication. In cases of persistent or recurrent folliculitis, your dermatologist may consider prescribing oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline along with a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin 2%. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to fully eradicate the bacterial infection. Wash your hair regularly with a gentle shampoo to keep the scalp clean. Avoid using oily hair products or hair styling products that can clog the hair follicles. Use a clean towel and avoid sharing combs or hair accessories to prevent the spread of bacteria. Avoid picking or scratching the bumps to prevent further irritation and infection. If the folliculitis continues to recur despite these measures, it is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
