General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
This is Dr. Klarida Papaqako answering your question.

From your description it looks like a patch of Seborrheic dermatitis.
If I was your caring doctor I would recommend a keratolytic shampoo, which are widely used to treat seborrheic dermatitis (include coal tar, salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione and combination shampoos). You should leave the shampoo on skin ≥ 5 minutes to ensure good exposure.

If those do not work in the time frame of 2 weeks, then you can go on a medication shampoo like ketoconazole 2% shampoo (Nizoral) or gel (Xolegel).

Hope this helps,
Regards.
