A member asked:
I have seborrheic dermatitis, can going to the pool be a problem for my skin problem? can the water of the pool interact with pyrithione zinc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enjoy your swim: It won't be a problem. There is also a LOT you can use for seborrheic dermatitis beside pyrethone zinc. Old-fashioned sulfer, old-fashioned coal tar, ketoconazole shampoo, and many others are available. The pool water may actually be of some mild benefit.
