Excess scalp exfoliation

2021-11-11 09:28:20
Last month i consulted a dermatologist and i was diagnosed with seborrhic dermatitis. There is no itching or irritation on scalp but excess dandruff/scalp exfoliation. Earlier the doctor prescribed me ketaconazole shampoo and cemitidine tablet and also a serum. It temporarily prevented the exfoliation but now its starting again. The doctor whom i consulted earlier, practices in my hometown and now im in a different city. What should i do now?

Seborrheic dermatitis can re-occur with change in weather, stress etc. You can continue using ketaconazole shampoo twice a week. If it still persists then kindly video consult.
