How to treat seborrheic dermatitis
If you suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, your doctor will prescribe a local treatment based on antifungals (such as Mycoster shampoo), combined in some cases with corticoids. These drugs are designed to reduce inflammation and regulate excess sebum and yeast on the skin.
In most cases, dermocorticoids are effective in treating dermatitis flare-ups. Emollients such as ATOPICLAIR cream are used as a first-line treatment, alone or in combination with topical or systemic treatments, to restore the skin's barrier function and limit the passage of irritants and allergens. The management of atopic dermatitis also includes adjuvant and recurrence-prevention measures, such as hygiene measures and the elimination of irritants and allergens.
The treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is divided into 3 main actions: reducing the number of fungi on the skin, with antifungal products; combating inflammation and seborrhea, notably with dermocorticoids for inflammation. Good hygiene is also essential to soothe flare-ups.
