Seborrheic Derm: Topical steroids reduce the inflammatory response and help control itching. You can buy Hydrocortisone cream 1% over-the-counter, and it's safe to use on the face. Apply twice a day to the affected area until the redness resolves. Save the Hydrocortisone for flare-ups and use the antifungal shampoo for maintenance because long-term steroid use can cause side effects.
