Have Seborrhoeic Dermatitis. Smells Bad And No Improvement Even After Treatment. What To Do?
I have seborrheic dermatitis for about three years now,. I went to couple dermatologist i received several treatment. The problem still exist. I realise that when the temperature rises it gets worse especially in the evenings. In addition, worst of all especially, when it set up to rain or it rains. In conclusion, it comes with an odor that smell like feet smell or hair needs washing. Just smells bad. What can i do.

hi seborrhic dermatitis is difficult to treat completely.smells bad usually indicates it is a fungal infection hence use of antifungals for a longer time can cure the condition.use of flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for 3-6 months a antibiotic twice daily ,antihistamine at night and application of moisteriser along with momate f ointment in the morning and keto b ointment in the night can cure it .if no response use isotretinion 20 mg alternaste day for 3-4 months
