Brief Answer:
Seborrheic dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply..
As per your history it is going in favour of SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS, in such cases KETOCONAZOLE 2 % CREAM is the treatment of choice..
I usually prescribe twice daily application for 3 to 4 weeks..
One important thing to mention that don't purchase its lotion form, buy only cream if trying to get it without prescription..

Hope it helps
