The patient had the complaints of seborrheic dermatitis from the last 17 years. He complained of sticky dandruff on scalp and face. There was also photosensitivity with erythematous macular patches on the cheek and neck after shaving and after exposure to the sun. The complaints started after the patient had taken steroids and vitamin supplements. The complaints used to get aggravated after eating lemons and curd, and his relief from the complaints was better in the summers. The patient initially had applied steroidal agents but had stopped using them as it did not give any relief.
