    I use ketoconazole 2% three times a week and then on my off days I use like either a selsun blue or T-gel. It doesn't really get rid of it but it can help maintain it.

Wish I could tell you more, but I just developed sebborheic dermatitis this year. I really wonder if propecia caused this for me. Best of luck

    I see so both of you use nizoral/ketoconazole but it doesn't get rid of SD completely...

    Eric, so you use Tgel/selsun in between the days you use ketoconazole? Do you think tgel/selsun are mild enough (for using them between the ketoconazole)?

    I'm asking because when I started my treatment I tried a lot of shampoos and I remember Nizoral made my scalp a lot itchier and I hated it. Now what I'm using is a shampoo with zinc pyrithione twice a week (it's the active ingredient in Head&Shoulders), maybe you could look into a shampoo that has that. The other 5 days of the week I use a shampoo that feels like it's really mild (I'm not sure if it's actually mild). It's called Elution by ducray, and it's actually a shampoo to use as a follow-up to dandruff treatments (says it in the label), so it's meant to be used as a complement to dandruff shampoos.

    So far I have had a lot of success with this combination. However I should mention that my SD worsens a lot when I'm under a lot of stress. So keeping your stress levels in check helps big time. What I'm wondering now is if I should try and switch the Elution (the one I use in-between dandruff shampoo) for a 'milder' shampoo like those that are sulfate-free. But I'm scared that if it doesn't work my SD will come back even worse.I guess I shouldn't change anything if it works most of the time, right?

    EDIT: Btw, here's the link to the shampoo I'm talking about if you guys are interested
