I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for about five years now and have tried almost every type of treatment, but nothing seems to completely help. What else can I try, or is there something I might be missing in managing it?

In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
