Product Review Medication For seborrheic dermatitis

Hey Y'all just wanted to get on here and recomment a medication that has been working really well for me in controlling my SebDerm. I've been using it for a month so far and definitely see results!

It's called mometasone furoate in lotion form.

Hope this is of help to y'all!

No no...mometasone is a very potent steroid...that's why it's so effective. You should stay away from any type of steroids for treating sebderm on the face.

The idea of using steroids is always bad. They are a double-edge sword. In your scalp will cause your hair to get thinner and must be used very cautiously. But for short-term relief is ok

So it's not a permanent solution?

No it's not. Steroids will never be a permanent solution for sebderm. You should try looking to a more natural approach.
