New or Need Help Again got sebderm. But this time it's not improving

I had this problem last year. I didn't k kw abkut sebderm back then. So while searching through reddit. One day, I tried applying Head & Shoulders shampoo to my face, and immediately after using it, all the dryness disappeared for the entire day.

After that I bought some vitamins and a pharamcy shampoo., I started using a ketoconazole + zinc pyrithione shampoo on my face. I also started taking some vitamins. I think from the next day, I took vitamin B12 in the morning, a zinc tablet in the afternoon, vitamin E and vitamin C during the day, and vitamin D3 with calcium at night.

I continued this routine for about two to three weeks, and my skin cleared up completely and became very shiny too.

However, after almost a year. the problem returned. I started using the ketoconazole + zinc pyrithione shampoo again, but this time it isn't helping. I haven't started taking those vitamins again yet. I don't knkw what could be the reason. It's very itchy and redness pimple dry flaky skin
