Summary Seventy patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp, participated in a double‐blind clinical trial using a tar/zinc pyrithione shampoo versus a placebo shampoo. Fifty‐seven patients were evaluated after 6 weeks of treatment. Seventeen of twenty‐seven using active shampoo and seven of thirty who used the placebo had no itching or scaling at the conclusion of the trial (P9 < O.01). No significant differences between the active and placebo shampoos were found for the parameters of erythema, seborrhoea and excoriations.
