What shampoo should i use for seborrheic dermatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look for one...: ...With either tar, salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide. If none of those are strong enough you'll have to visit a dermatologist to get a prescription-strength shampoo, plus perhaps a steroid foam or lotion.
