Hello. Thank you for writing to USI suggest a possibility of seborrhea dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis can present with red, scaly and itchy lesions at various sites including face. Seborrheic dermatitis is a steroid responsive skin condition and responds remarkably well to them. I would suggest that you apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily for 2 weeks. Seborrheic dermatitis can recur therefore re-treatment may be required. However, since topical steroids cannot be used for more than 2 to 4 weeks on face because of the risk side effects that they can cause like skin atrophy, acne therefore for mild recurrences I would suggest a topical immunomodulator e.g. pimecrolimus cream twice daily. If your seborrhea dermatitis recurs frequently topical immunomodulators can even be used for maintenance of improvement as they are devoid of steroid related side effects. Regards
