• #1 Seborrhoeic dermatitis – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborrhoeic_dermatitis

  Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a long-term skin disorder. Symptoms include flaky, scaly, greasy, and occasionally itchy and inflamed skin. Areas of the skin rich in oil-producing glands are often affected including the scalp, face, and chest. It can result in social or self-esteem problems. In babies, when the scalp is primarily involved, it is called cradle cap. Mild seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp may be described in lay terms as dandruff due to the dry, flaky character of the skin. However, as dandruff may refer to any dryness or scaling of the scalp, not all dandruff is seborrhoeic dermatitis. Seborrhoeic dermatitis typically appears as dry, white, flaky skin. The flakes can be fine, loose, and diffuse or thick and adherent. Additionally, flakes can appear yellow and oily or greasy. In addition to flaky skin, seborrhoeic dermatitis can have areas of red, inflamed, and itchy skin that coincide with the area of skin flaking, but not all individuals have this symptom. Seborrhoeic dermatitis’ symptoms are typically mild and appear gradually but are often persistent, lasting weeks to years. Individuals with seborrhoeic dermatitis are subject to recurrent bouts and it may be a lifelong condition. Seborrhoeic dermatitis can also occur quickly and severely in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This is sometimes the first indication of HIV. The condition is common in infants within the first three months of age or adults aged 30 to 70 years. It tends to affect more males. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is more common in African Americans, among immune-compromised individuals, such as those with HIV, and individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The condition may worsen with stress or during the winter. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is generally a chronic and recurring condition. Individuals may have the condition for several weeks to months, but it may also last years or their lifetime. There may be periods of relapse and worsening. The condition usually recurs throughout a person’s lifetime.

  Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common papulosquamous skin disease occurring predominantly in infancy and middle age, exhibiting distinct variations across these age groups.

It occurs in areas with lots of sebaceous glands including the scalp, external ear, central face, upper trunk, underarms, and groin. Its most common and mildest form is dandruffwhitish scale of the scalp and other hair-bearing areas without any underlying erythema. […] Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic and relapsing condition that can be diagnosed clinically. It tends to be worse in colder, drier climates and improves during summer monthsespecially with ultraviolet exposure. Stress can also play a role in initiating or worsening flares. Individuals with seborrheic dermatitis have an overabundance of Malassezia, a yeast that is normally found on the skin. […] Seborrheic dermatitis can be more extensive and difficult to treat in people with Parkinsons and HIV; treating these conditions can lead to improvement in the seborrheic dermatitis.

  On the scalp it can range from a mild flaking of the skin (dandruff) to inflamed, scaly areas, which can sometimes weep. […] Seborrhoeic dermatitis cannot be cured, because once an individual has become allergic to Malassezia on the skin, exposure to it will always cause a problem. […] The only way to keep it under control is to use anti-yeast treatments, which will suppress seborrhoeic dermatitis but not eradicate it. […] The major reservoir for the yeast is the scalp, so a medicated anti-yeast shampoo should be used. […] For more severe seborrhoeic dermatitis affecting the scalp, a scalp application or lotion containing a steroid and salicylic acid may be prescribed. […] Seborrhoeic dermatitis is typically quite mild elsewhere. […] An oral anti-yeast treatment may be needed if the seborrhoeic dermatitis becomes severe or extensive. […] The important message is that long-term treatment is needed to keep this condition at bay.

  ASD, on the other hand, is characterized by a relapsing and remitting pattern of disease and is ranked third behind atopic and contact dermatitis for its potential to impair patients’ quality of life. […] The distribution of lesions is the most important clinical feature of SD, with lesions occurring in areas where the skin is rich in sebaceous glands, especially on the scalp and face. ISD is generally asymptomatic, but atopic dermatitis frequently coexists. On the other hand, pruritus is common in ASD, especially with scalp lesions, and patients regularly report burning, but there is usually no history of atopic dermatitis. […] The mildest form of SD is a noninflammatory variant commonly called pityriasis capitis or sicca. […] ISD usually appears in the second week of life and tends to last 4 to 6 months. It can be present in the same facial distribution as that of ASD, the diaper region, the skin creases of the neck, and the axillae. The rash is usually not itchy or painful, and the infants look content, but parents may be distressed. It is generally mild and self-limiting.

  Seborrheic dermatitis is more common in men than in women, probably because sebaceous gland activity is under androgen control. Seborrhea usually first appears in persons in their teens and twenties and generally follows a waxing/waning course throughout adulthood. […] Infants frequently have seborrheic dermatitis, commonly known as cradle cap. Areas of possible involvement include the scalp, face and intertriginous areas. Involvement may be extensive, but this disorder frequently clears spontaneously by six to 12 months of age and does not recur until the onset of puberty. […] A scaly scalp in a prepubertal child is usually caused by tinea capitis, not seborrheic dermatitis. Therapy for infantile seborrheic dermatitis includes frequent shampooing with an antidandruff shampoo. […] Daily shampooing may not be reasonable for some populations, such as black persons or persons who are institutionalized. In general, weekly shampooing is recommended for black persons.

• #3 Seborrhoeic dermatitis – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborrhoeic_dermatitis

  Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a long-term skin disorder. Symptoms include flaky, scaly, greasy, and occasionally itchy and inflamed skin. Areas of the skin rich in oil-producing glands are often affected including the scalp, face, and chest. It can result in social or self-esteem problems. In babies, when the scalp is primarily involved, it is called cradle cap. Mild seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp may be described in lay terms as dandruff due to the dry, flaky character of the skin. However, as dandruff may refer to any dryness or scaling of the scalp, not all dandruff is seborrhoeic dermatitis. Seborrhoeic dermatitis typically appears as dry, white, flaky skin. The flakes can be fine, loose, and diffuse or thick and adherent. Additionally, flakes can appear yellow and oily or greasy. In addition to flaky skin, seborrhoeic dermatitis can have areas of red, inflamed, and itchy skin that coincide with the area of skin flaking, but not all individuals have this symptom. Seborrhoeic dermatitis’ symptoms are typically mild and appear gradually but are often persistent, lasting weeks to years. Individuals with seborrhoeic dermatitis are subject to recurrent bouts and it may be a lifelong condition. Seborrhoeic dermatitis can also occur quickly and severely in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This is sometimes the first indication of HIV. The condition is common in infants within the first three months of age or adults aged 30 to 70 years. It tends to affect more males. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is more common in African Americans, among immune-compromised individuals, such as those with HIV, and individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The condition may worsen with stress or during the winter. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is generally a chronic and recurring condition. Individuals may have the condition for several weeks to months, but it may also last years or their lifetime. There may be periods of relapse and worsening. The condition usually recurs throughout a person’s lifetime.

[…] In adolescents and adults, seborrheic dermatitis typically presents as flaky, greasy, erythematous patches on the scalp, nasolabial folds, ears, eyebrows, anterior chest, or upper back. The inflammation causes stratum corneum hyperproliferation (scaling) and incomplete corneocyte differentiation, which alters the stratum corneum barrier and impairs its function, thus increasing access for Malassezia and allowing water to more readily leave the cells.
