At Claire Derma, we commonly see patients whose shedding improves significantly once the dermatitis is brought under control."},{"id":"faq-new-4","question":"How long does it take for seborrheic dermatitis treatment to work?","answer":"Most patients at Claire Derma notice reduced itching and visible scale reduction within one to two weeks of starting a prescribed antifungal and anti-inflammatory regimen.
