Seborrhoeic dermatitis, itchy back

2017-09-10 13:57:39
I am badly suffering from seborrhoeic dermatitis .Excruciating itching and sticky fluid oozed from skin has made my entire life painful.There is also itching on ear,back and groin. I have taken itraconazole, tetracycline, rupatadine as medications for 1 month but there is no sign of improvement.I have done TSH, FT4, RBS test and all were normal. Everyday I apply ketoconazole 2 % shampoo to wash away the flakes.(the condition being so severe I can't use it 2 days a week as the doctor prescribed
