Seborrheic dermatitis does not cause a rapid increase in hair loss. I suggest consulting with an expert for proper evaluation and treatment. Best, Dr. Emer

William Woessner, MD · Answer

Seborrheic dermatitis responds well to frequent shampooing of scalp and face with ketoconazole 2% shampoo. occasionally a short burst of oral steroid is indicated if the scaling and redness get out of hand. You should consult your surgeon or your experienced practitioner to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment to make sure you are on the right track.
