Hi,
I can understand your concern.
Treating seborrheic dermatitis is required as it can flare up acne.
Use a mild face wash like cetaphil cleansing lotion and a bland moisturiser( cetaphil moisturising lotion). Apply ketoconazole cream wherever you are having rashes of seborrheic dermatitis.
You may use adapalene gel over acne lesions to treat the same.
Hope that answers your query. Take care.
