Shampoos and cream: Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the hair, ears, eyebrows, and nasolabial folds. It is caused by numerous factors including altered sebum, malessezia overgrowth, and overactive immune system response. Nizoral, (ketoconazole) t/gel and t/sal shampoos are useful. Topical steroids and antifungals can help control as well.
