Seborrheic dermatitis, often referred to as dandruff when it affects the scalp, is a common skin condition that causes red, flaky, and sometimes itchy patches of skin. This condition develops when the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin produce excess oil, which can lead to irritation and promote the overgrowth of a natural skin yeast called Malassezia. Seborrheic dermatitis can appear not only on the scalp but also on areas like the face, eyebrows, sides of the nose, and chest.
At iskinDermatology, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing seborrheic dermatitis. Our treatments may include medicated shampoos, topical antifungal or anti-inflammatory medications, and personalized skincare routines to help control flare-ups and soothe irritated skin. We also provide guidance on lifestyle factors and daily habits that can help prevent recurrences, ensuring you achieve and maintain a healthy, comfortable scalp and skin.
