Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects areas of the skin rich in oil (sebaceous) glands. It typically presents as redness, greasy scaling, and flaking, most commonly seen on the scalp and face.
What Are the Symptoms?
Patients with seborrheic dermatitis may notice:
- Persistent dandruff or flaky scalp
- Red, inflamed skin with oily or greasy scales
- Itching or mild irritation
- Yellowish or white crusts on affected areas
Common Areas Affected
- Scalp (dandruff)
- Face (around nose, eyebrows, eyelids)
- Ears
- Chest and upper back
What Causes Seborrheic Dermatitis?
The condition is multifactorial and may be associated with:
- Overgrowth of Malassezia (a naturally occurring skin yeast)
- Increased oil (sebum) production
- Hormonal influences
- Stress and lifestyle factors
- Seasonal changes (often worsens in winter)
Is It Contagious?
No. Seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious and cannot spread from person to person.
