Seborrheic dermatitis can be managed with vitamin B6 and vitamin B2 supplementation, as well as appropriate intake of a B-complex vitamin. However, if pruritus accompanies seborrheic dermatitis, vitamin supplementation alone is insufficient for treatment. Typically, low-dose oral prednisone—prescribed and monitored by a physician—may be used. Additionally, sulfur ointment or ketoconazole cream may be applied topically to alleviate symptoms.
