Seborrhoeic dermatitis is associated with Malassezia furfur, but the exact role of this lipophilic yeast is still unclear. The in vitro antifungal activity of a coal tar gel, the base of the gel and coal tar (Stantar) itself has been evaluated against 54 different M. furfur strains, isolated from patients suffering from dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and pityriasis versicolor.
