Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment in NYC
Understanding Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition characterized by scaly, inflamed skin, primarily in oily areas such as the scalp, face, and other terminal-haired regions. Although not infectious, seborrheic dermatitis can lead to temporary hair loss if present on the scalp or other areas with terminal hair.
Symptoms and Causes
Seborrheic dermatitis manifests as itchy, painful skin with a scaly, sometimes oily appearance. It is believed to be triggered by the overproduction of sebum by sebaceous glands, which contains higher levels of triglycerides and cholesterol. Factors such as hormonal changes, stress, and genetics, particularly among those of Celtic descent, can exacerbate this condition.
Medicated Shampoos: Specialized anti-dandruff shampoos can control scaling and inflammation. Options include those with tar, pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or salicylic acid.
Topical Treatments: Corticosteroid creams and antifungal agents like ciclopirox or ketoconazole can help manage inflammation and yeast proliferation, a key factor in seborrheic dermatitis.
