Because seborrhoeic dermatitis frequently behaves like a chronic, recurrent illness, symptoms may get better while taking isotret and then return after stopping it. This does not imply that the course of treatment was unsuccessful. Ketoconazole or zinc-based anti-dandruff shampoos, sporadic medicated lotions, gentle scalp care, stress reduction, and avoiding harsh oils or hair products are examples of routine maintenance care that many people require. Because long-term usage of isotretinoin might induce negative effects, it should only be taken under a dermatologist's care. Follow-up with a dermatologist is crucial to safely modify long-term maintenance treatment because the issue continues coming back.
