Description

Mayra Kaizer, Thays Apolinário, and Jamilly Almeida survey in this 2025 overview what proof backs treatments for seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. The flaky, inflamed condition has many therapies, from antifungal shampoos to steroids and light. Their overview gathered eight systematic reviews covering eighty studies, grading each treatment's evidence quality for health technology assessment.

Ketoconazole shampoo and ciclopirox gel held the strongest, moderate-grade support for easing symptoms. Many everyday options, including several shampoos and steroid mixes, rested on low or very low grade evidence. The authors urge better trials so that spending and prescribing rest on solid ground rather than habit. Common shampoos may work, but proof lags behind use.
