Dermatitis - Seborrheic

Also known as:  Seborrhoeic Dermatitis

Seborrheic Dermatitis is a type of Dermatitis that occurs as a result of Seborrhea (the production of excessive amounts of Sebum by the Sebaceous Glands).

 Seborrheic Dermatitis usually occurs during infancy (especially between the ages of 2 - 12 weeks when it is known as Cradle Cap) and in the middle-aged or elderly.

Digestive Juices

 Seborrheic Dermatitis may occur as a result of Hydrochloric Acid deficiency. 

Lipids

 Monolaurin (applied topically) may alleviate Seborrheic Dermatitis. 

Prescribed Medications

   Cortisol (cream applied topically) is often prescribed to reduce the Inflammation associated with Seborrheic Dermatitis.

 Ketoconazole (Nizoral Shampoo containing 2% Ketoconazole applied topically to the Scalp once or twice per week) may alleviate and prevent the recurrence of most cases of Seborrheic Dermatitis of the Scalp (it suppresses the Pityrosporum ovale, the Detrimental Yeast that can cause scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis).  ^[1]
