Seborrheic Dermatitis vs. Scalp Psoriasis Seborrheic dermatitis can be accompanied by other dermatological disorders, which can make treatment difficult. The good news, however, is that many of the same treatments used for dermatitis (like reducing intake of allergens, avoiding chemical skin care products and improving immune function) also apply to treating skin conditions such as eczema and  psoriasis . Early seborrheic dermatitis can be distinguished from scalp psoriasis because it appears “spongiform,” meaning pores appear enlarged and open like a sponge. Seborrheic dermatitis can also cause skin to appear greasy, while psoriasis usually causes more dryness and red scaling. Patients with psoriasis who have facial or scalp flaking can also look for signs of lesions on the elbows or knees. Psoriasis also causes nail pitting, while dermatitis normally doesn’t. It is also possible to have a condition called  sebopsoriasis ,  which is a combination of bo...

4.  Stay Hydrated Be sure to supply skin with enough hydration by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid consuming too much salty food, alcohol, caffeine or sugary drinks, which can aggravate and dry out the skin. Instead try alternatives like coconut water, green tea, and homemade smoothies or juices to increase fluid intake. 5. Use Healing Coconut and Essential Oils Because real  coconut oil  contains medium-chain fatty acids, including  lauric acid  and capric acid, it has strong antiviral, antimicrobial and antifungal properties.  Coconut oil applied to the skin  has been shown to help reduce excess yeast, microbes and fungus that can lead to irritation, too much oiliness or dryness. Even better, use coconut oil on the skin along with soothing essential oils — like cedarwood oil ,  lemongrass ,  rosemary, tea tree and lavender. To make a homemade treatment for scaling, itchy skin that you can keep at home to use sev...

Conventional Treatment for  Seborrheic Dermatitis Conventional treatment options for treating symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis, especially the most common symptom, scalp dandruff, include: ( 11 ) Medicated Shampoo The first over-the-counter (OTC) options doctors may prescribe include a variety of different medicated shampoos. The four basic types of these shampoos are coal tar shampoo, selenium sulfide shampoo, tea tree oil shampoo and zinc pyrithione shampoo. You can use tea tree oil shampoo daily. Use the other three types twice a week. Coal tar shampoo  is a keratolytic agent. These are meant to soften the protein keratin on the skin and allow dead skin cells to be sloughed off more easily. Keratolytic agents contain sulfur and salicylic acid. The latter is especially important in conventional skin treatment because  salicylic acid  is oil-soluble and reduces inflammation on the skin. That’s why it’s commonly used to treat acne. Common side effects...

Causes and Risk Factors of  Seborrheic Dermatitis What causes seborrheic dermatitis? Although experts still aren’t totally sure why dermatitis develops, it appears to be related to the composition of the skin’s sebaceous gland secretions, the proliferation of Malassezia yeasts that can cause negative skin responses, and abnormal immune responses. ( 7 ) Sebum is the component of the skin’s surface that produces oils (lipids) to keep the skin adequately hydrated. It contains high amounts of squalene, wax esters and  triglycerides  that normally prevent dryness. Research suggests that people with dermatitis might have close-t0-normal sebaceous gland activity. However, changes in the composition of the skin’s surface — coupled with a hyperactive immune system — might trigger abnormal responses to microbes on the skin. Immune responses increase as there’s also a higher growth rate of lipid-dependent microorganisms, including yeasts. Malassezia yeasts ...

Share on Email Print Article Seborrheic dermatitis, a type of skin condition that most often causes facial dryness and  scalp itchiness , affects about 6 million children and adults in the U.S. It can be tricky to recognize or diagnose seborrheic dermatitis because the skin reactions it triggers mimic those caused by similar conditions like psoriasis, other forms of eczema or even allergic reactions. Like many other conditions caused by abnormal immune responses, patients tend to experience on-and-0ff intervals of seborrheic dermatitis symptoms. This means most have episodes of skin reactions suddenly flaring up and then periods when they go away. Patients with dermatitis have reported that outbreaks are triggered by factors like: ( 1 ) Trauma, emotional stress or  depression Fatigue and lack of sleep Exposure to damp or dry conditions in the home and/or workplace, such as excessive air-conditioning Systemic infections Use of certain medica...
