I was given desonate gel to use for 2 weeks and things calmed down. However now I just have a redness itchy forehead. I put moisture cream o it and it doesnt really help.

People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil). Later, pityrosporum yeast grows excessively in the sebum, sometime along with bacteria, making the dermatitis more persistent. I suggest you to get an examination done from a dermatologist.

Avatar n tn Soaps and detergents such as sodium laureth sulfate may precipitate a flare-up, as they strip moisture from the top layers of the skin, and the drying property of these can cause flare-ups and may worsen the condition. Avoid using these and choose a suitable alternative for cleansing the skin. Or it could just be xerosis.Xerosis is the medical term for dry skin. It can have many different causes, including general dehydration, Vitamin A deficiency, and diabetes.

Avatar m tn Hi, Redness noted in the nasal folds may be due to seborrheic dermatitis. You have noted that the lesions (allow me to call them lesions are actually like white spots that bleeds when you squeeze them. Seborrheic dermatitis may appear as greasy , scaling lesions that may affect the scalp and the areas behind the ears as well. Would you be able to note other similar lesions in the scalp, chest or behind the ears? Another differential will be an eczematous condition and a fungal infection.
Avatar m tn Hello, The symptoms can be due to seborrheic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. The mainstay of management is liberal use of moisturizers after washing with luke warm water. Soap should be used minimally. Moisturizers should be reapplied liberally during the day.You can also use a topical cortisone (steroid) cream or ointment like dermacort(hydrocortisone). Adding a humidifier to the central heating system of your home or using a humidifier also helps.
Avatar f tn I have been researching this online and think it is seborrheic dermatitis. I have been using clotrimazole cream twice daily as suggested on the JUST ANSWER DERMATOLOGY site for 3 days now. My question is: what are the stages of healing of this problem? Now I have much more "crusting over" and it is very dry and more itchy than before beginning the use of the cream. By the description I've given do you think it is in the healing process? Thank you ahead of time for your opinion.

Avatar f tn Dear Doctor and all, I would be very grateful if you could tell me what the typical HIV rash look like. The only info I have is that it could affect any part of the body but usually the face and the trunk. But what I really want to know is whether it is always widespread. I have recently found about 10 tiny red dots on my chest. They are slightly raised, close together but not touching. They are not itchy at all, and the skin around them looks normal. Could they be HIV-related?
