Hi guys.. Its been 6 months now since my surgery. During this time I've been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis which feels like I have a cap of hard to remove dandruff on my scalp. My derm prescribed Tsal shampoo. But after a month it hasn't done anything. I asked for a special injection to get rid off it but he stood firmly against it because he claims it can create collagen which can choke the transplanted follicles. 

I really want to get rid of this fast. Has anyone had this issue after surgery and what was your treatment for it postop?

When I was younger I had to wash my hair twice a day and used Nizoral shampoo daily as my regular shampoo.

Are you in the US?

Scalpicin worked for me, which is Hydrocortizone based, when I had an inflamed scalp due to minoxidil.  I cannot get it where I live as not in the US.

Azelaic Acid cream is very effecting - used it for around nose area where I sometimes get a SD flare up.

I also find that avoiding refined sugars lessens the chance of SD.

How long did you shampoo with it until your SD was gone?
