What is seborrhoeic dermatitis?

Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common skin condition that may occur on the face, scalp, ears, chest, armpits, under the breasts or around the groin and buttocks.

It usually appears as red, scaly areas that spread without proper treatment, and is caused by a yeast called pityrosporum.

What can you do about seborrhoeic dermatitis?

This is a chronic, recurring condition, so treatment must be effective and suitable for long-term use.
Avoid scratching, since this can lead to inflammation and secondary infection, making the problem more difficult to treat.
As with all skin irritations, avoid using soap, which can remove the skin’s natural protective oils. Instead, use a gentle, soap-free cleanser and pat skin dry after bathing to avoid abrasion.
