For years I have been plagued with periodic outbreaks of dry, scaly, itchy patches on my forehead, nose and ears. The past couple of years the outbreaks have been almost consecutive so, with pressure from my husband and my best friend, I finally made an appointment with a dermatologist.
I now have a diagnosis: I have seborrheic dermatitis -- no prevention known and no cure, but it can be controlled. I got a prescription for a topical lotion (a mild steriod) that I use only when I have a flare-up and a recommendation for an over-the-counter anti-fungal shampoo to use as a face wash a couple of times a week.
I am VERY happy to report that I am scaly and itch free after only a couple of treatments.
Just amazing what a visit to a professional will do :-)

Glad to know you finally have a diagnosis and a method of treatment for this irritation.
That's the same name they give to the "cradle cap" that babies get. So, you and Max have something in common!
