Seborrheic dermatitis is a common inflammatory disease of the
skin characterized by scaly lesions usually on the scalp, hairline,
and face.
Seborrheic dermatitis appears as red, inflamed skin covered by
greasy or dry scales that may be white, yellowish, or gray. It can
effect the scalp, eyebrows, forehead, face, folds around the nose
and ears, the chest, armpits (axilla), and groin. Dandruff and
cradle cap are mild forms of seborrheic dermatitis, they appear as
fine white scales without inflammation. |
