Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic Dermatitis

This is characterised by patches of red, itchy skin covered in white/yellow scales or crusts. These can occur on the scalp, face, side of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids, chest, armpits, groin area or under the bust. The exact cause is not yet definitively proven but experts believe it is linked to an irritant yeast found in the oil secretion of the skin and that this causes an irregular immune reaction. It is often seen in individuals with oily skin. Flare-ups can be more common during cold, dry months.
