[Topical anti-inflammatory treatment for seborrhoeic dermatitis].

A recent Cochrane review evaluated the effect of topical anti-inflammatory treatment for seborrhoeic dermatitis. The authors concluded that topical steroids are an effective treatment and found some evidence of the benefit of topical calcineurin inhibitors. The existing Danish guideline for treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis prepared on behalf of the Danish Dermatological Society recommends topical antifungal treatment as first-line treatment and anti-inflammatory treatment as adjuvant. The opinion of the authors of this article is that the results of the Cochrane review do not give rise to changes in these recommendations.
