Scalp Dermatitis
Signs - Symptoms and Causes
Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition that commonly affects the scalp.
It causes the skin to be itchy, scaly and red with stubborn dandruff. In
infants it is also known as cradle cap. Other areas of the body may be
affected as well including the face, chest, ears, and even creases in arms
and legs. This uncomfortable condition is no harmful but can be extremely
itchy and unattractive.
Some common signs of seborrheic dermatitis
are:
- Dandruff and flaky
scalp
- Sore or itchy scalp
- Skin patches that
are scaly or crusty
- White or yellowish
scales on scalp and sometimes attached to hair shaft
- Greasy red skin
covered with flaky scales
Most often you will find
these symptoms occur on the scalp, but they can be on any area of the body
that tends to be oily. Some common areas are on the face such as the
eyebrows, sides of nose, and behind the ears. It is also sometimes found on
the chest or breastbone, armpits, folds in skin, and the groin area.
The cause of seborrheic dermatitis is not
known exactly, but there are several factors that seem to be contributors
including:
- Malassezia- this is
a yeast fungus that grows in oily areas of the skin.
- Seasonal Outbreaks-
like many skin conditions it tends to be worse in dry winter weather.
- Stress and fatigue
- Auto-immune
diseases, such as HIV/ AIDS, increases susceptibility
- Nuerological
conditions, like Parkinson’s disease may increase susceptibility
- Heredity
