Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by red, itchy and flaky patches, typically occurring on the scalp, face or other oily areas.
What is it?
Seborrheic dermatitis presents as red, scaly, itchy and flaky skin, primarily on the scalp but also affecting oily areas such as the face, chest and back. Its exact cause remains unclear, though it's associated with the yeast Malassezia and inflammatory reactions in oily skin. This condition is not harmful, but symptoms may fluctuate and recur over time.
