Tacrolimus 0.1% versus ciclopiroxolamine 1% for maintenance therapy in patients with severe facial seborrheic dermatitis a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled study.
Capsule summary Despite the absence of robust evidence, tacrolimus is quite commonly used off label as maintenance treatment for seborrheic dermatitis, in clinical practice. Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment applied twice a week after 7 days of topical corticosteroids is more effective than ciclopiroxolamine 1% as maintenance therapy in patients with severe facial seborrheic dermatitis.
