Did your doctor diagnose you with Seborrheic Dermatitis? The layman's term for SD is dandruff-- which does not cause swelling, itching, or redness around the eye unless you are applying oil to your face which you should never do due to the sensitivity of the skin on your face (especially your eyes).
A wide variety of treatments are used for seborrheic dermatitis. These include:
Prescription or over-the-counter shampoos containing one or more of the following ingredients:
Pyrithione zinc
Hydrocortisone or other cortisone (steroid) preparations
Selenium sulfide
Salicylic acid, sulfur
Coal tar
Ketoconazole or other antifungal medications
Prescription or over-the-counter creams or lotions containing:
Hydrocortisone or other cortisone (steroid) preparations
Ketoconazole or other antifungal medications
Pimecrolimus
However, please get a proper diagnosis by your doctor before continuing to search for treatment for dandruff. You want to be sure of what you have before starting to treat it on your own.
