How should seborrheic dermatitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Who can save my face? It started changing two years ago. I've consulted both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine doctors. They said it could be rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, or endocrine disorders, but it hasn't been effectively treated. What should I do now? It doesn't itch much anymore, just a little. It's mainly redness and large pores.

Doctor's answer:

The current situation is primarily aimed at maintaining normal skin metabolism and enhancing skin immunity, so excessive medication use is not recommended in this case, with lifestyle adjustments as the foundation. It is advised to wash your face with plain water three times a day. You can use an oil-free facial cleanser instead of soap and avoid using oil-based skincare products. After washing, let your face air dry. You may appropriately use fusidic acid and adapalene, and avoid fatigue and staying up late.
