These include antifungal dandruff shampoos, coal tar shampoos, sulfur treatments, salicylic acid products, and short courses of hydrocortisone cream. Dr. Dray also explains a simple affordable routine that can help keep seborrheic dermatitis under control at home, along with common mistakes people make that can worsen flaking and irritation.
