Seborrheic dermatitis and use of steroid
I am suffering with seborrheic dermatitis which has caused excessive flaking and itching on the scalp. I used salsia KT shampoo but without any help. Dermatologist Doctor said that you need steroid lotion for scalp. Due to my eye problems, doctors had advised against use of steroids on face and related area since it can increase eye pressure dramatically. What are the other alternative options available to control the situation without steroids use?
