Understanding Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes scaly, flaky, and sometimes itchy patches on oil-rich areas of the body.

At Paradise Medical Center in Miami, our dermatologists understand that seborrheic dermatitis can be frustrating and embarrassing.

The condition is linked to an overgrowth of Malassezia, a yeast that naturally lives on human skin.

While seborrheic dermatitis cannot be permanently cured, it can be effectively managed with proper treatment.

Areas Affected by Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis can affect multiple areas of the body, each requiring tailored treatment approaches.

Scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis

The scalp is the most common site, causing dandruff ranging from mild flaking to thick, adherent scales.

Facial Seborrheic Dermatitis

Commonly affects the eyebrows, sides of the nose, and behind the ears.

Seborrheic Dermatitis vs. Rosacea

These conditions can occur together or be confused with each other.

Sebopsoriasis

Some patients have overlapping features of seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Managing Seborrheic Dermatitis Long-Term

Since seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition, long-term management strategies are important.

Maintenance Therapy

Even when your skin is clear, continuing treatment at reduced frequency can prevent recurrence.

Trigger Management

Stress, cold weather, hormonal changes, and certain health conditions can trigger flares.

Addressing Yeast Overgrowth

Since Malassezia yeast plays a key role, antifungal treatments are often the cornerstone of therapy.

Related Skin Conditions

Seborrheic dermatitis can coexist with other skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
