Managing seborrheic dermatitis can indeed be challenging. Here are some strategies that might help:

1. Cool, Wet Cloth: Apply a cool, wet cloth to the affected areas to soothe itching and burning.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse: Try an apple cider vinegar rinse to calm an itchy scalp.
3. Rotate Shampoos: Rotate between at least two dandruff shampoos to improve their effectiveness.
4. Cold Water Rinse: Rinse your skin with cold water at the end of every shower.
5. Over-the-Counter Corticosteroids: Use an over-the-counter corticosteroid cream containing desonide, fluocinolone, or hydrocortisone.

Additionally, consider these tips for getting the most out of topical treatments:

- Consistency: Follow your treatment plan consistently and as prescribed.
- Over-the-Counter Products: Incorporate over-the-counter products like dandruff shampoos and moisturizers with salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, coal tar, or salicylic acid.
- Avoid Irritants: Avoid styling products like gels or hairsprays, or products made with alcohol.
- Facial Hair Care: If you have facial hair, shampoo it regularly and use medicated shampoo if needed.
- Eye Care: Gently wash inflamed skin around your eyes with warm water and baby shampoo.

If over-the-counter treatments aren't effective, consult your doctor about prescription options like corticosteroids, antifungal medications, or calcineurin inhibitors.
