Abstrakt:	Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common inflammatory skin condition characterized by itchy, sensitive patches of greasy, flaky skin in areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the scalp. Cases range from asymptomatic to debilitating, with effective treatment in severe cases proving crucial to patient quality of life. Ketoconazole shampoo is a topical antifungal that is a promising treatment option for individuals affected by this condition.Numerous trials display significant improvement in irritation and scaling of scalp seborrheic dermatitis (SSD) with ketoconazole shampoo treatment. Most studies also report optimally low relapse rates as well as little to no side effects, including rare skin irritation that resolves with cessation of the drug. Based on these findings, ketoconazole shampoo seems to be a safe and effective treatment for SSD.The present investigation reviews knowledge and research regarding ketoconazole shampoo as a treatment for SSD for physician consideration in the clinical setting.
