- Abstract
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) impacts a diverse demographic, with treatment effectiveness and suitability varying across hair types and cultural practices. Available shampoo treatments contain surfactants that compromise hair moisture and integrity as well as requiring frequent use, which may not align with the routines of various hair types and cultural hair care practices. Most available topical foams and gels contain high concentrations of drying alcohols that damage hair color and moisture. Newly US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved roflumilast 0.3% foam presents a significant advancement in the treatment of SD owing to its pH-balanced, residue-free formulation that is suited for all hair types, including patients with curly or coiled hair. It presents a culturally inclusive treatment option that offers effective management of SD while maintaining hair health and respecting diverse hair care needs and practices.
