Hello

I have had seborrheic dermatitis since January, my scalp is very itchy and I had some on my face and hands too. I have been to my GP over this for the third time already and I feel they won't do anything about it. I have used a couple of creams for face and hands which worked but my scalp is still incredibly itchy and I am losing hair at a scary rate.

I have used Nizoral and now I am starting Eucerin.

I would love to see a specialist over this but the dermatologists I found in London are incredibly pricy, I simply can't afford 200gbp for a first consultation.

    You can visit another Doctor if that is very expensive. You should avoid using face cream because of your itchy scalp. It will effect the facial hair growth.
