Seborrhoeic dermatitis :In mild cases, a topical antifungal cream or medicated shampoo (such as ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, coal tar, and zinc pyrithione) may be enough to control symptoms. In more severe cases, you may receive a prescription for a mild corticosteroid medication to calm the inflammation as well. Male pattern baldness: The FDA approved treatment for this condition is minoxidil lotion and finesteride tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please upload you pics for detailed prescription and treatment.
