Seborrheic Dermatitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes redness and scaling, especially in areas with many sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, face, and sides of the nose. It usually runs a course with periods of improvement and relapse.
Common symptoms: white or yellowish scales, redness, itching, and a sensation of irritation in the affected areas.
Contributing factors: oily skin, stress, weather changes, and individual predisposition.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the professional who evaluates this condition, and in children the pediatric dermatologist can help guide care. If the scaling or itching bothers you or recurs, it is worth discussing it with a specialist to understand how to manage it.
