Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
I would keep a possibility of seborrheic dermatitis with secondary bacterial infection.
If I was the treating doctor I would have suggested an oral antibacterial. My choice would have been a penicillin group of drug e.g Amoxycillin or cefadroxyl for a week.
An OTC topical antibacterial e,g 2% mupirocin cream can applied twice daily along with oral antibacterial, for faster action.
Once the secondary bacterial infection resolves, she could use a 2% ketoconazole based solution for shampoo and a topical moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone for skin application, twice daily.
