A member asked:
Good evening doctors. is there a lotion or cream that you suggest for seborrheic dermatitis, with or without a steroid, particularly for the lobes of the nose and under the ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can try the hydrocortisone 1% OTC first, apply twice a day. If it is not effective, you need a stronger topical steroid cream or ointment but with prescription. Other than apply the medication you should not pick or irritate the rashes. Take care!
