How to treat seborrheic dermatitis

Skin problems have always been a major concern for people, because skin diseases are difficult to cure and the chance of recurrence is very high. Repeated attacks can easily make people suffer. Therefore, treating skin diseases has become the patient's greatest wish. The serious symptoms of skin diseases need to be taken seriously. For example, treating seborrheic dermatitis is a more serious symptom of dermatitis. Let's take a look at the explanation of how to treat seborrheic dermatitis.

1. General treatment

Live a regular life, get enough sleep, adjust your diet, eat more vegetables, limit high-fat and high-sugar foods, avoid drinking alcohol and spicy foods, and avoid excessive mental stress.

2. Topical medication

(1) Glucocorticoids are mainly used for skin lesions with severe inflammation. Medium- or high-potency glucocorticoid preparations can be applied externally, which have good therapeutic effects, but should not be used for a long time, especially on the face. Low-potency glucocorticoid preparations (such as hydrocortisone) are less effective and are suitable for infants and young children.

(2) Antibacterial drugs: 2% erythromycin ointment or gel, 5% metronidazole cream, or a cream containing 1% chloramphenicol and 0.1% dexamethasone.

(3) Selenium sulfide lotion has the effect of killing fungi and inhibiting bacterial growth. It can also reduce sebum secretion and the content of fatty acids in sebum.

(4) Zinc pyrithione shampoo: The concentration of zinc pyrithione shampoo is 1% to 2%. In addition to being used on the scalp, it can also be used on other parts of the body, such as the face, brow arches, and trunk. Do not apply to eyelid margins to avoid eye irritation. Apply the medicine to the affected area, leave it on for 1 to 2 minutes, and then wash it off with clean water. Apply 1 to 2 times a day. When symptoms are under control, change to once a day, but you must persist in applying it to avoid recurrence. The shampoo has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of epidermal cells. In addition, it has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect and can inhibit the growth of Pityrosporum ovale.

From the above introduction, the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis can be divided into external treatment and general treatment, and both are parts that cannot be ignored. Therefore, if people have symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis in their lives, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time to prevent the disease from being delayed for too long and causing more serious consequences. Health is the real goal.
