What Is Seborrheic Dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and flaky patches, often affecting the scalp, face, and other oily areas. It results from the overproduction of skin oil and yeast growth. While not serious, it can cause discomfort and requires ongoing management. Dandruff is caused by excessive shedding and the breakdown of dead cells that react with sweat, not with oily secretions. Dry dandruff is a white powder that appears on the clothes.
There are two types of Seborrheic Dermatitis
1. Cradle Cap
This is a common condition in babies. It is characterised by scaly patches on your baby’s head that may be oily or crusty. It is not usually life-threatening and usually goes away on its own after a few months. In rare cases, it may affect the entire baby’s body, leading to red, scaly spots and inflamed skin.
2.Adult Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic Dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition that flares on the course of a person’s life. Weather and stress can cause these flare-ups. Permanent Dandruff Solution can help to reduce the severity condition and provide relief from symptoms. Seborrheic Dermatitis flares are more common during cold and dry weather.
How Does Dandruff Start?
Oleic acid makes the top skin layer cells break away easily. Dandruff happens when these cells fall off a lot and mix with sweat. When this doesn’t involve extra oil, it looks like dry, white powder on your clothes that causes dry dandruff.
What Are The Symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis?
Excess Oil Production: When your scalp produces too much oil (sebum), it can create dandruff. The excess oil can mix with dead skin cells, leading to flakes.
Yeast Growth (Malassezia): Malassezia is a naturally occurring yeast-like fungus found on everyone’s scalp. Excess fungus can irritate the scalp, causing an accelerated shedding of skin cells, resulting in dandruff.
Dry Skin: Dry skin cells can accumulate and flake off, causing dandruff.
Skin Conditions (Eczema, Psoriasis): Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis can cause red, flaky patches on the scalp, leading to dandruff
Sensitivity to Hair Products: Some individuals are sensitive to certain hair products like shampoos, conditioners, or styling products. This sensitivity can trigger scalp irritation and dandruff.
Treatment of Seborrheic dermatitis
- Keeping the scalp skin oil free is the key in management of SD.
- Don’t apply coconut or any oil to the scalp as this will flare up the symptoms.
- Keep your combs and pillowcase clean all the time as they act as fomites transmitting fungus.
