I have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis on my face. I was asked to take sporanox capsules by the doc for a week and consult the doc soon after. The fungal infection subsided within that period but I did not consult the doc after that. The infection has returned once again .

I have been getting electrolysis on my face and have recently been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis.
