Dermatologist, Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney's Response

Hello,

According to your complaints it seems to seborrhoic dermatitis. I would recommend you to use a ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly and apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily for 2 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney
