What is Seborrheic Dermatitis?

Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrhea, sebopsoriasis, seborrheic eczema, and dandruff and pityriasis capitis is a chronic, relapsing and usually mild dermatitis.

In infants seborrheic dermatitis is called cradle cap.

It is an inflammatory skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and torso.  It particularly affects the sebaceous-gland-rich areas of skin.

Seborrheic dermatitis doesn’t affect one’s overall health, but it can be uncomfortable and cause embarrassment. It isn’t contagious, and it’s not a sign of poor personal hygiene.

Causes of Seborrheic Dermatitis:

The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is yet unknown.

However, it is thought to result from a combination of the following factors:

  • Stress
  • Genes
  • A yeast that normally lives on skin
  • Certain medical conditions and medicines
  • Cold, dry weather

A number of factors increase the risk of developing seborrheic dermatitis, including:

  • Neurological and psychiatric conditions, such as:
  1. Parkinson’s disease
  2. depression
  • A weakened immune system, such as seen in:
  1. organ transplant recipients
  2. people with HIV/AIDS
  3. alcoholic pancreatitis
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Endocrine disease that leads to obesity, such as:
  1. diabetes
  • Some medications
  • Scratching or otherwise damaging the skin on your face
  • Having the following medical conditions:
  1. Acne
  2. Eating disorders
  3. Epilepsy
  4. Psoriasis
  5. Rosacea

Symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis:

The following signs and symptoms are exhibited by Seborrheic Dermatitis:

  • Skin flakes (dandruff) on the scalp, hair, eyebrows, beard or mustache
  • Patches of greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales or crust on the scalp, ears, face, chest, armpits, scrotum or other parts of the body
  • Red skin
  • Redness or crusting of the eyelids (blepharitis)
  • Possibly itching or stinging

The following regions are susceptible to Seborrheic Dermatitis:

  • On the face, especially around the nose, on the eyelids, or behind the ears.
  • In the middle part of the chest
  • Around the navel
  • On buttocks
  • In skin folds under arms and on legs
  • In the groin
  • Below breasts

Diagnosis of Seborrheic Dermatitis:

The doctor may scrape off skin cells for examination (biopsy) to rule out conditions with some symptoms similar to seborrheic dermatitis, including:

  • Psoriasis.
  1. This disorder also causes dandruff and red skin covered with flakes and scales
  • Atopic dermatitis (eczema).
  1. This skin reaction causes itchy, inflamed skin in the folds of the elbows, on the backs of the knees or on the front of the neck
  • Rosacea.
  1. This condition usually occurs on the face and has very little scaliness.

Treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis:

Medicated shampoos, creams and lotions are the main treatments for seborrheic dermatitis.
The following treatments are available:

  • Creams, shampoos or ointments that control inflammation.
  1. Prescription-strength hydrocortisone
  2. fluocinolone
  3. desonide (Desowen, Desonide)
  • Antifungal shampoo alternated with a stronger medication.
  1. Ketoconazole shampoo
  • Antifungal medication taken as a pill. .
  • Medications that affect the immune system
  • Cream or gel that fights bacteria.
  1. metronidazole (Metrolotion, Metrogel)
