Glad to see that someone else has the same experience that I do with ointment and the Aveeno products!!

Ointments absorb in the skin better than creams. I also recommend trying Aveenos :calm and restore" line

How can eyebrow hair loss from seborrheic dermatitis inflammation be managed?
It's understandable to be concerned about your daughter's eyebrow hair loss. The good news is that hair loss from seborrheic dermatitis inflammation is often temporary and reversible once the inflammation is controlled.
The inflammation and itching from seborrheic dermatitis can lead to scratching, which may damage hair follicles and cause hair loss. When the inflammation decreases and scratching stops, hair typically has the chance to grow back.
Here are some approaches that may help:
Gentle Care for the Eyebrow Area:
- Use warm compresses to help loosen flakes or buildup. Place a warm, damp washcloth over the eyebrows for a few minutes, then gently wipe away scales with a cotton swab
- Be very gentle with this sensitive area to avoid further irritation
Treatment Options to Discuss With Her Doctor:
- Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream (0.5% to 1%) can help control inflammation when applied 3-4 times daily
- Stronger topical corticosteroids may be prescribed for more severe cases, but only for short-term use
- Newer treatments like phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors are also available
Since your daughter is already using Elidel, her dermatologist can evaluate whether her current treatment plan needs adjustment or if additional options would help reduce the inflammation causing hair loss.
