A member asked:

What's the best shampoo for eczema? head and shoulders, selsun blue, clear or soap?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find the cause: Shampoos might be more appropriate if its actually seborrhea. Eczema calls for a search as to its cause and correcting whatever it is -- you may even be allergic to a hair care product.
