What is Seborrheic Dermatitis

In today's blog, we will talk specifically about seborrheic dermatitis, which although it normally affects the scalp, can also affect the skin on other parts of the body. This alteration usually causes the skin to have a oily and flaky appearance, and it can occur at different stages of life: in adolescence and in adulthood it is usually called oily dandruff, and when it appears in babies it is usually known as a milk crust. When it appears normally is accompanied by intense itching, which usually worsens in times of cold and dry environment.

In adolescence and adulthood

During adolescence, hormonal changes occur that favor the onset of Seborrhea, where there is an alteration in the production and composition of sebum by the sebaceous glands that increases the amount of sebum in the scalp, which can slightly alkalize the pH and promote the production of microorganisms and dandruff (oily dandruff), which in turn will cause reddening of the scalp and itching.

Adulthood is usually more common among men between 30 and 60 years of age, although it also appears in women. In this case, excess seborrhea can cause hair loss due to pore blockage and reduced nutrient irrigation.

Other factors that may promote seborrhea include:

  1. A diet rich in fatty acids and carbohydrates.

  3. Anxiety or stress.
  4. Inadequate cleaning habits and aggressive cosmetic products.

For the treatment of seborrhea, our goal will be to control sebum production, balance pH and control the production of microorganisms. It will also be important to moisture of the scalp.
