Asked for male, 37 years old from Gurgaon

I am 37 year old male and have been facing seborrheic dermatitis issue from past many years. I am using protar k shampoo and also apply tacrolimus solution 0.1 w/v. My nose, beard, ears, and forehead are also affected due to dermatitis. I also have severe hair fall due to this as I have to scratch my scalp while shampooing in order to get this white sticky stuff out of my hair. I have also had isotretinoin 10 mg at multiple occasions to control sebum production but no relief. I have almost used all shampoos (coal tar, ketoconazole) and solutions in market but I am not getting any relief from it. The sticky white discharge does not go away. My scalp is also itchy all the time.

U can do the following to ease the symptoms of psoriasis
1. Prevent dry skin
Use a humidifier to keep the air in your home or office moist. This can help prevent dry skin before it starts.
Sensitive skin moisturizers are also great at keeping your skin supple and preventing plaques from forming.
2. Avoid fragrances
Most soaps and perfumes have dyes and other chemicals in them that may irritate your skin. They can make you smell great, but they also can inflame psoriasis.
