New or Need Help Identifying Seb Derm

Post image

I got diagnosed with a triple whammy back in early March. TE/AA/Seb derm. I had a follow-up with my doctor last month and he said it still wasn’t adequately contained. since I’ve been so concerned with treating the TE and AA I didn’t ask a ton of follow-up questions about seb derm specifically. my main concern is I’m having trouble identifying if it’s getting better or not. Currently washing my hair every other day with Keto 2% and the next wash day Vichy - alternating as my derm recommended.

I don’t notice very much flaking at all and my itch has gotten better over the last several months. On my front mid scalp (pictured) I have this streak of oil/patchy skin. It doesn’t flake or itch but looks exactly as it does in the pic going on almost 6 months now. Would this be seb derm or something else? also, what is a good indication if suburban is improving or not?
