[|Human|] Good Day. I am a 41 years old Male, non-smoker. Over the past few weeks I have developed itchy red patches on my jawbones. The area is very flaky and is constantly dry. The condition is aggravated by shaving and even though I have been putting on different creams and lotions to hydrate the area, the itchiness and flaking continues. My physician has recommended applying Zindaclin 1% Gel and Eczmol 1% w/w cream none of which is proving beneficial. I do suffer from sebhoerric dermatitis on my scalp which I treat/manage with Alphosyl Shampoo but I have rarely had issues with my face. Please help. Thank you. H
[|AI|]  Hi, Most probably the lesions over your face are that of seborrhea dermatitis only. The similar involvement of your scalp also supports the diagnosis. Though you can use a plain coal tar based shampoo, it would be more beneficial if you use a ketoconazole and coal tar based shampoo(for e.g. Köniz ct). For your face lesions use a steroid antifungal combination (like mom oz t) twice in a day for a week. Hope that solves your query. Take care.
