Seborrheic Dermatitis is common scaling redness and dandruff of scalp, new treatment just approved!

There is yet another treatment approved for the common condition Seborrheic Dermatitis. Seborrhea, often called, dandruff, causes redness, scaling and itching in scalp, ears and face.

FDA recently approved Xolegel (ketoconazole) 2% gel..It is a waterless gel approved for once daily application and has been shown to be as effective as potent topical steroids for the common symptoms of seborrhea but with less side effects.

If you are on potent steroids for seborrhea, ask your doctor about this new medicine, Xolegel, it may be more effective and less risky.
