Seborrheic dermatitis

2020-12-25 16:40:12
I have had persistent seborrheic dermatitis for the past 1 year. It hasn't responded to salicylic acid based shampoo as well. Since the past 1 month, I'm having inflamed red scaly and painful patches on the hairline and back of my neck. There's also itching and scaling. What topical therapy is adviced? Do I also need to take oral medications? I'm scared..
