Brief Answer: Eumosone-M, Cetaphil cleanser, Sensibio d.s. cream Detailed Answer: Hi there XXXXXXX From your history & clinical description, it does appear that you possibly ail from a condition called 'seborrheic dermatitis' also called dandruff in lay terms. Please do try using Cetaphil only as a face cleanser & avoid all 'soap'. In addition, I will start you on a cream called Eumosone -M locally twice/daily for a 5 day period till you get symptomatic relief & then stop after a further 2-3 days & shift to a pure moisturiser. I find this helps my patients'. You may want to switch to a cream from Bioderma called Sensibio d.s. or a sebamed product as available near your home for a long term usage. If in & around Bangalore, please drop in to see me at XXXXXXX Hospital. If not, please use this HCM site to visit a dermatologist near you should it persist. Cheers! Good Luck & wish you a clear complexion. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD
