NCT ID NCT07063615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a special scalp cream to see if it safely relieves symptoms like flaking and itching in people with mild to moderate seborrheic dermatitis (a common dandruff condition). About 34 adults will use either the cream or a placebo for a set time. Researchers will measure changes in scalp flaking, redness, and itchiness, and also check if the cream helps balance the scalp's natural microbes.
