Avatar m tn Hello, It looks like seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is believed to be an inflammatory reaction related to the proliferation of normal skin habitant Malassezia – a yeast, which produces toxic substances that infect and irate the skin. The disease is neither contagious nor related with diet but it may be aggravated by other illness like Psychological stress, immune compromised patients, neurological diseases like Parkinsonism and stroke.
Avatar m tn Hello, From the symptoms it sounds like seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium.
Avatar m tn Hi, You are most probably suffering from seborrheic dermatitis. This may require use of both ketoconazole shampoo and cream at the same time or seperately. You should revisit your doctor to clarify this doubt. Hope this helped.. Let us know if you have any other queries.
Avatar m tn If it's the outer third of the eyebrow, you should get your thyroid checked. If you have flaking and scaling, like you have dandruff in your eyebrows, then it's probably something fungal. If it's not super red and inflamed, you could try applying some hydrocortisone cream to it. If it helps, it probably is some sort of organism causing irritation and the hair loss, and something like ketoconazole cream or even lotramin would be the thing to do.

Avatar m tn Hello, I'm a 21 year old male who was recently diagnosed with Seborrheic dermatitis. I began seeing red dots around my nose leading up to my eyebrows. At first i thought nothing of it, i thought it may be a reaction to ProActive which i was using at the time. I immediately stopped using the ProActive, and began applying light Burn/Skin Irritation cream. The problem seemed to persist. I started using aloa and some loations thinking it may simply be, my skin is dry.
Avatar f tn Hi You might be suffering from scalp (seborrheic) dermatitis or scalp eczema or scalp psoriasis. The exact diagnosis depends on clinical examination. Seborrheic dermatitis presents as dry skin on the scalp, which flakes off (dandruff). The skin on the face, behind the ears, eyelids, nose and chest may also be affected. Symptoms of scalp eczema may include greasy yellowish scales that may turn flake off along intensely itchy and inflamed red scalp.
Avatar f tn Did any of u ladies ever use ketokonazole 2% cream during pregnancy? I have seborrheic dermatitis and I'm afraid to use the cream, which I really need!! Was anyone else in a similar situation? What did u do?
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor about my seborrheic dermatitis that I have in my nasal folds and inner eyebrows. I was told to use prescription ketoconazole shampoo in those areas. Despite using this for a couple weeks now no improvement in my symptoms. Every time I take a shower cold or warm those areas become infested with flakes/peeling-like skin once my skin dries from the water. Even on the off days when I don't use ketoconazole it will do that.

Avatar n tn Hi, probably it is because of seborrheic dermatitis, you might be having acne problem. In some people, a yeast (fungus) called malassezia grows in the sebum along with bacteria. Antifungal treatments, such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), are often effective. “Try using the shampoo daily until your symptoms are controlled, then cut back to two or three times a week.
Avatar n tn 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 would like to know if I should take the capsules once again for a week and then consult the doc or meet the doc before taking them.
