Treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis with bifonazole.

Twenty-five patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis localised to the face were treated with bifonazole cream once daily for 4 weeks. Twenty-one (84%) were free of lesions, 2 improved and in 2 no improvement was seen. Bifonazole is not only an effective antimycotic agent, it also has anti-inflammatory activities and this combination may be beneficial in the treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis.
