Dermatitis is not contagious. It's a skin condition.

I have Seborrhic Deramtitis around my nose... it comes out in the spring and fall.
My Dr. prescribed me a hydrocotisone cream and that seems to do the trick.

Unfortunatly you won't be "cured" of the condition.. you will always have break outs.

DON'T SCRATCH! No matter how itchy it is.
you only used the shampoo twice? IS that how much the Dr. told you to use it?
Yes, go back to the Dr. and stop scratching! You are just making it worse!

You should not scratch the area. Use warm water on your scalp when bathing. Avoid spicy foods. And visit:
