I've been struggling with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis for months now, and my dermatologist recently prescribed Selenium Sulfide 2.5% Shampoo. I've used it a few times, and I'm not sure if it's working. Has anyone else used this shampoo? How long did it take to see results, and were there any unexpected side effects? I've heard mixed reviews about the burning sensation it can cause. Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

I recently started using Ciclopirox 0.77% Gel to treat my seborrheic dermatitis, and I've had mixed results. The gel seems to be helping with the itching and redness, but I've also experienced some burning at the application site. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm also curious about how long it typically takes to see significant improvement. This medication does have some severe side effects that I want to avoid by all means, so hopefully, its not just me. I've been applying it for about a week now, and while I'm hopeful, I'm also a bit worried about the potential risks. For example, I've been using anti-fungal creams in my life several times. Sometimes its hard to tell if the burning sensation is a result of the gel or just my skin's reaction to drying out. It's all been quite frustrating. If you have any tips or insights, I'd love to hear them!

I've been struggling with acne for a while now and my dermatologist recommended Sumadan 9-4.5% Wash Liquid. It contains sulfur and sulfacetamide, which are supposed to help dry out the skin and stop bacterial growth. I'm a bit worried about the side effects, especially the rare but severe ones. Has anyone tried this before? How did it work for you? Were the side effects really that bad? I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences with this topical wash.
