What are the potential side effects of sertaconazole and hydrocortisone creams in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis?

Label:chem

Topic
Both sertaconazole and hydrocortisone are used to treat seborrheic dermatitis, but they may have different side effect profiles.
Answer
Sertaconazole may cause xerosis (dry skin) in some patients, while hydrocortisone may lead to hypopigmentation. Overall, sertaconazole has fewer adverse events compared to hydrocortisone, making it a potentially safer long-term treatment option for seborrheic dermatitis.
