Seborrheic dermatitis treatment involves various methods to manage symptoms. Medicated shampoos containing ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or pyrithione zinc can help control scalp irritation. Topical antifungal creams or ointments containing ketoconazole, hydrocortisone, or calcineurin inhibitors may be prescribed for affected skin areas. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications or corticosteroids might be necessary. Additionally, gentle skincare routines with mild cleansers and moisturizers can help soothe irritated skin. Avoiding triggers like stress, harsh skincare products, and extreme weather conditions may also aid in managing symptoms.

Diagnosis : Our expert dermatologist will examine your skin and ask about your symptoms to confirm whether you have seborrheic dermatitis. They might also take a skin scraping or biopsy to rule out other conditions.
Topical Treatments: This often involves applying medicated creams, lotions, or shampoos directly to the affected areas. These may contain antifungal agents, steroids, or other medications to reduce inflammation and control the growth of yeast that contributes to seborrheic dermatitis.
Oral Medications: In more severe cases or when topical treatments aren't effective, oral medications such as antifungal agents, steroids, or oral retinoids may be prescribed.
Phototherapy: In some cases, exposing the affected skin to controlled amounts of UV light may help reduce symptoms.
Lifestyle and Home Remedies: Our dermatologist may recommend certain lifestyle changes or home remedies to help manage symptoms, such as using gentle skin care products, avoiding triggers like stress or harsh weather, and practicing good hygiene.
Causes:
We don't know what exactly causes seborrheic dermatitis. It seems to be a combination of things, including:
Stress
Your genes
A yeast that normally lives on the skin.
Certain medical conditions and medicines.
Cold, dry weather.
It doesn't come from an allergy or being unclean.
Newborns and adults aged 30-60 are more likely to get seborrheic dermatitis. It's more common in men than women and in people with oily skin.
Symptoms:
Dandruff and cradle cap are common names for seborrheic dermatitis. Babies 3 months and younger often get cradle cap: crusty yellow or brown scales on their scalp. It usually goes away before they're a year old, although it can come back when they reach puberty.
You might get seborrheic dermatitis on your face, especially around your nose, in your eyebrows, on your eyelids or behind your ears. It can show up on your body, too:
In the middle part of the chest.
Around the navel.
On buttocks.
In skin folds under arms and on legs.
In the groin.
Below breasts.
On babies, seborrheic dermatitis might be mistaken for diaper rash.
Skin can itch, burn, or look red. The scales that flake off could be white or yellowish and look moist or oily.
Because it can look like other skin conditions, you should see your doctor get a diagnosis and the right treatment. The dermatologist will ask about your medical history and look at your skin. You may need other tests if the doctor thinks it's related to another medical condition.
