Disease description:
I have seborrheic dermatitis, which is very embarrassing as my body is covered with red patches. I would like to ask the doctor, what is the best way to treat seborrheic dermatitis?

Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory scaly disease occurring on the scalp, face, and sometimes in other areas. Treatment methods for seborrheic dermatitis generally include dietary regulation, daily skin care, pharmacological therapy, light therapy, and acupuncture treatment.
1. Dietary regulation: Seborrheic dermatitis is a common chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disorder that frequently occurs in areas with high sebaceous gland density. The exact cause remains unclear, but may be related to factors such as heredity, fungal parasitism, increased skin lipids, and impaired skin barrier function. Patients should maintain a light diet, consuming more bland, easily digestible foods rich in vitamins and proteins. Spicy, irritating, and greasy foods should be avoided.
2. Daily management: Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition. Patients should maintain clean and dry skin, avoid excessive sebum secretion, use lukewarm water when bathing, and choose mild, non-irritating bathing products.
3. Pharmacological therapy: Patients may use medications such as clobetasol propionate cream, desoximetasone acetate cream, and salicylic acid ointment under the guidance of a physician.
4. Light therapy: Under medical supervision, ultraviolet therapy can be used to directly kill pathogens or alter their living environment, thus inhibiting their growth and reproduction.
