Understanding Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that commonly affects areas with more oil-producing glands, including the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose, ears, beard area, and upper chest. Symptoms may include white or yellowish flakes, redness, itching, irritation, or greasy scaling.
While seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious, it can be persistent and may flare during periods of stress, hormonal changes, colder weather, illness, or changes in skin care routines. Symptoms can range from mild dandruff to more noticeable irritation involving the scalp and face.
A dermatology evaluation can help confirm the diagnosis and guide an effective treatment plan based on the location and severity of your symptoms.
Our Treatment Approach
Treatment for seborrheic dermatitis is personalized based on the areas affected, the severity of flaking and inflammation, and how often symptoms return.
Medicated Shampoos
Prescription-strength or dermatologist-recommended shampoo treatments may help manage scalp flaking, itching, and irritation.
Topical Therapies
Topical medications may help reduce redness, scaling, and inflammation involving the scalp, face, or other affected areas.
Advanced Treatment Options
For persistent or difficult-to-control symptoms, additional treatment options may be considered based on your needs.
