Itraconazole (Sporanox®) for seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common superficial dermatosis, characterized by red, flaking areas of the skin, which may in some cases be covered with yellowish flakes. The most commonly affected areas are the nasolabial folds, ears, eyebrows, scalp and chest. While seborrheic dermatitis may be easy to recognize clinically, the variability of the lesions in both appearance and location may complicate the diagnosis. Seborrheic dermatitis has been described as resembling psoriasis (in which case, the condition may be called "sebopsoriasis") and, when affecting the eyes or ears, has also been described as blepharitis and otitis, respectively. Seborrheic dermatitis tends to be chronic, though seasonal variation is common, with lesions worsening in the dry, winter months.
