Seborrheic is a skin condition that primarily affects the scalp, face, and the torso. It is also known by the names of capitis, seborrheic eczema, pityriasis, and seborrhoea. The most common name for this condition, however, is dandruff. It is characterized by red, scaly skin which might also be dry and itchy in some cases. It mostly affects the areas of the skin where there is an excess of the sebaceous gland. When this condition affects children, it is called cradle cap. In adults and adolescents, it is present in the form of flaky and scaly, dry skin, mostly on the scalp, very similar to dandruff.
Symptoms
The progress of Seborrheic is usually gradual starting with flaky and dry scalp or any other affected area. It then increases in severity, and the skin turns into a red patch that is scaly and also itchy. Sometimes it also affects the area near the eyelashes and in cases where the severity has advanced; it can have yellowish bumps on the hairline. In children, it affects the scalp and usually fades away by the time a child is a year old. However, it can appear during adolescence.
Along with the scalp, it can appear in some areas of the body too, as listed below:
- Where there is skin folding
- In the middle of the chest area
- Around the navel
- Around the groin area
Causes
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of Seborrheic dermatitis. In some cases, it develops due to fungal infections, but it is a result of some common lifestyle defects. The following factors, or rather a combination of them, can result in the occurrence of this skin condition:
- Being chronically stressed
- A genetic predisposition to this condition
- A yeast infection
- Dry skin and lack of moisturizing
- Living in a cold, dry climate
- Excessive alcohol intake and smoking
- Imbalanced diet
Prevention
Even though the exact cause of seborrheic is unknown, living a healthy and balanced lifestyle can help in the prevention of the condition. A regular cleansing ritual of the scalp, moisturizing, and regular shampooing can easily avoid seborrhoea. In addition to these, usage of antifungal creams has also shown to help prevent this disease. A well-balanced diet with adequate healthy fatty acids can help in regulating the severity and periodical flare ups.
