    1. Same as on your face or on your scalp : use Ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral) and let it sit for 5-10 min. Rinse thoroughly and repeat 2 to 3 times a week. Malassezia furfur won’t survive this treatment.

    2. I have to use Nizoral every day on my face for this. I still get peeling every few weeks where my whole face just sloughs off

    3. I have it on my ears I have to use sulfur soap two times a week or depending if I oil/sweat alot during the day.

  1. This makes so much sense, when I sometimes (now very rarely) get this it’s also itchy and just doesn’t go away with lotion. Benzoyl peroxide would make it worse by drying it out more, salicylic acid does a good job for me

  2. I’ve had hypopigmentation after treating seborrheic dermatitis with ketoconazole, but the color never fully returned, and it’s been almost 3 years. Now, I have discoloration on my face, especially around my sideburns.
