My son's dandruff and facial dryness clear up when using Mitaz solution on his hair and Momtez cream mixed with sunscreen on his face, but the symptoms return immediately when he stops the medications. What alternative medicines or long-term treatments can permanently resolve this recurring issue?

Your son is likely dealing with seborrheic dermatitis, a chronic condition that can be managed but not permanently cured. Using strong steroids like Mitaz and Momtez cream on the face and scalp for long periods is unsafe and causes rebound flare-ups when stopped. For safer, long-term management, consult a dermatologist about steroid-free alternatives. For the scalp, medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione are highly effective. For facial symptoms, topical calcineurin inhibitors (like tacrolimus or pimecrolimus) or antifungal creams are much safer for maintenance than steroids. A gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser should also be used daily.
