Chronic seborrheic dermatitis treated at a university hospital

I first had seborrheic dermatitis about 10 years ago, and after one relapse it got better, but recently it came back again.
I already had a bad scalp... but this summer, on a sunny day, I didn't wear a hat and my scalp got sunburned.
Since then, my seborrheic dermatitis has relapsed and I have been visiting a local dermatologist, but as it is not getting better, I am visiting a general hospital to receive treatment for seborrheic dermatitis.

 

hospital

I went to the dermatology department of a university hospital.
I thought I would have to go to a bigger hospital since the local dermatologist didn't help.
I searched for a place famous for treating seborrheic dermatitis and found this place. It had good reviews and was close to my house, so I decided to go.

 

Seborrheic dermatitis treatment process

First, here is the process of seborrheic dermatitis.

At first, it started to turn red like this

 

The scalp starts to peel

It's not dandruff, it's just damaged scalp peeling off.

 

At first, I treated seborrheic dermatitis myself.

I also tried the all-purpose antibiotic ointment Esroban and used a shampoo for treating seborrheic dermatitis.

But it didn't get better, so I ended up going to a local dermatologist.

But even though I took medicine and tried other shampoos prescribed by the hospital for treating seborrheic dermatitis, it didn't get better and instead continued to get worse.

 

I had really bad itching not only on my crown but also on the border of my scalp where it connects to my facial skin.

 

My scalp started to turn red and I started getting pimples, so I decided to go to a university hospital.

 

First, I met with the professor and showed him the medication I was taking, and he prescribed me a different medication and a different shampoo.

And, as for shampoo, it is said that it would be better to alternate between medicated shampoo and regular shampoo because medicated shampoo can cause excessive dryness.

So I use a medicated shampoo and a shampoo that's supposed to help with seborrheic dermatitis. I don't use regular shampoos sold in supermarkets.

Shampoo twice!

First, when you shampoo for the first time, wet the scalp and the scalp-face boundary line while doing a larval shampoo. When you shampoo for the second time, divide the hair into sections and wash and rinse very thoroughly.

It's definitely good to use baby shampoo because it reduces oiliness. For those with extremely oily scalps, I recommend shampooing twice. I'm not saying to wash twice, morning and evening, but twice!

+Never touch it with your hands except when washing your hair!

 

It's been 4 days since I changed my shampoo and shampooing method and took different prescription medication.

 

It's a little better than before.

After washing my hair

I got calluses!

It's still a bit reddish, but I think it'll get better.

It seems that steroids are essential for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.

As expected, appropriate use does help with quick recovery.

Of course, overuse is prohibited.

I'm so happy I'm getting better.

Seborrheic dermatitis has a high chance of recurrence once you get it, so you have to take very good care of it on a regular basis.

I need to manage it consistently in the future so that it doesn't happen again like this.
