A member asked:
Good evening doctors! for seborrheic dermatitis, is hydrocortisone cream over the counter (i think that it is 1 percent) good enough, or should i see get a prescription strength cream/medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seborrhea: This type of skin disorder usually responds to a mild steroid cream like the OTC 1% hydrocortisone but occasionally in cases that are more resistant and complicated, a higher potency treatment regimen is needed. In this case, a visit to your primary doctor first would be best.
