A member asked:

My bf has had redness in the vertical wrinkle between his eyes for 2 mos. hydrocortisone and bacitracin have not helped. he washes w a gentle cleanser. it looks dry. what else can he try?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seborrhea: You can try over the counter head and shoulders shampp plus a speck of over the counter antifungal cream (am/pm) apply cream very sparingly. Your physician can prescribe a combined anti-fungal/cortisone cream. Stop all other medication. Consult a dermatolgist if not gone within 1 week.
