I've been dealing with this seborrheic dermatitis for like five years now and it feels like I've tried almost every treatment out there. I'm starting to get really frustrated and I'm not sure what else to do. Is there something I might be missing or any other options I should consider?

In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI accidentally popped what I think was a sebaceous cyst inside my elbow, and now there's this dull, numb pain when I touch it, which wasn't there before. Should I be worried, or is it just a part of the healing process?
clean and dressing the wound regularly otherwise it leads to infection

I've started using Erythego gel and Ivermectin cream because my face was feeling hot and burning with some redness. At first, the redness seemed to get better, but the burning feeling didn't really go away. It only stops for a bit when I put on the medicine, but the rest of the time, my face still feels warm. I'm starting to wonder if these medications could be making the burning worse instead of helping me. Could they be causing the redness, too?
yes

I have two sebaceous cysts on my face and I'm not sure what to do about them. What are the treatment options available, and if surgery is needed, how much would it cost? I'm a bit worried about scarring or complications.
Sebaceous cyst treatment options range from observation to surgical removal, depending on the cyst's size, location, and whether it's causing pain or inflammation. Surgical removal, if needed, can be done through various techniques, with costs varying. Scarring and potential complications should be discussed with your doctor.
