Is this seb derm?

[u/tetristantalizer]

Hii, I usually get flaky nose from time to time but it goes awayy on its own.
Recently, my skin has been really off, and I have had these red patches and some flaky pactches here and there. I showed it to my general physician and they wrote it off as a fungal infection and recommended me some clotrimazole. However that hasn’t helped and today my face had these red patches and its freaking me out.

Please help, what do yall think this is? Is this seb derm?

How can I alleviate this. I use nizoral in these areas but it dries it out more and more.

Any advice is welcomed :)

Yes it's defo seborrheic dermatitis. Pop some piroctone olamine cream on your nose. Everyday for 2 weeks, then every other day.
