Disease description:

The treatment of seborrheic dermatitis on the face requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors.
1. Proper daily facial care should be performed, avoiding excessive cleansing and friction. Mild skin care products should be selected, while enhancing oil control and moisturization.
2. Dietary balance should be maintained, limiting high-fat and high-sugar foods, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and abstaining from smoking and alcohol. At the same time, maintaining a regular lifestyle, ensuring adequate sleep, and avoiding staying up late are important to maintain endocrine balance.
3. Regarding drug treatment, topical calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus ointment and pimecrolimus ointment, or antifungal agents such as ketoconazole ointment can be used to dissolve lipids, exfoliate keratin, reduce inflammation, and relieve itching. If the condition is severe, oral antihistamines such as levocetirizine dihydrochloride dispersible tablets, as well as vitamin B6 tablets and vitamin B2 tablets may also be prescribed.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine and physical therapies are also viable treatment options. TCM practitioners may prescribe herbal formulas according to different syndrome patterns, while physical treatments such as intense pulsed light and narrowband medium-wave ultraviolet light can improve skin condition.
