INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES

Scalp seborrheic dermatitis (SSD) greatly impacts the quality of life. In this study, we aim to evaluate both the efficacy and the effect on quality of life of a shampoo (Shampoo A) containing 1% Selenium disulfide and 1% salicylic acid in patients with moderate to severe scalp seborrheic dermatitis, compared to a reference shampoo containing 2% ketoconazole (Shampoo B).
