A member asked:

I have been suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, so have been using the elomet cream for more than a year, and getting immune to it, is there a cure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy to manage: I'm sorry that you weren't treated properly already. Emollients / moisturizers are only a minor part of managing seborrhea. Get with a general physician show knows how to treat it -- anti-inflammatories, anti-fungals, and more may all be part of good care.
