A member asked:
What can i use for facial seborrehic dermatitis? i don't want to use too much cortisone as prescribed. is essential oil okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seborrheic dermatiti: Cortisone is not the only treatment option. Anti-fungal medication ketoconazole (nizoral) may be used for this condition. Essential oil, unfortunately, is not something known to work, although, it won't probably hurt to try.
