Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I can understand your concern.

This appears to be a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. It is advisable to avoid using oil on the scalp or face, as this condition is associated with fungal infection of the skin. Please follow the treatment regimen I am providing:

  1. Use AF-K shampoo (containing Ketoconazole and Zinc pyrithione) three times a week.
  2. Apply Candid-KZ cream (Ketoconazole) locally twice a day.
  3. Take tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg twice a day.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
