Generally, treatment of leukoderma does not require shaving, but the exact decision needs to be made based on the severity of the condition.
Leucoderma, also known as scalp seborrheic dermatitis, mainly manifests as diffuse erythema, papules, greasiness and scaling of the scalp, accompanied by itching, which, if left unchecked, can gradually extend to the face and other seborrheic areas. Treatment can be internal vitamin B, antihistamines, etc. Topical selenium disulfide lotion or ketoconazole lotion can be used for cleaning, most patients do not need to shave their hair.
However, if the local symptoms are more serious such as with scalp area erosion, oozing, etc., it may be necessary to shave the hair after treatment to prevent infection.
