Is it safe to use Triben B cream twice a week on the face, back, chest, and genital area for four years to treat seborrheic dermatitis, and is there a permanent cure for this condition?
Using a combination cream containing an antifungal and a strong steroid (clotrimazole and beclomethasone) on sensitive areas like the face and genitals for four years is not safe. Continuous long-term steroid use can lead to skin thinning and other side effects. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition, meaning there is no permanent cure, but it can be managed very effectively. Please consult a dermatologist to safely taper off this steroid cream and transition to safer, non-steroidal long-term options, such as standalone antifungal creams or gentle medicated washes. There is no need to panic, but a guided shift to safer treatments will protect your skin.
