Managing seborrheic dermatitis can be challenging, especially when symptoms like itching persist without visible flaking. Here are some strategies that might help:

- Apply a cool, wet cloth to the affected areas to soothe itching.
- Try an apple cider vinegar rinse to calm the scalp.
- Rotate between at least two dandruff shampoos to improve their effectiveness.
- Rinse your skin with cold water at the end of every shower.
