Question
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.
