Seborrheic Dermatitis: Frequently Asked Questions

Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin disease which affects your scalp, for the most parts, and it is capable of causing dandruff, scaly patches and redness. It’s really a lot less scary than it sounds, so let’s have a look at a few FAQs.

1.    What are the causes?
As unfortunate as it may sound, the exact cause remains unknown. Researchers, though, believe that it could be triggered by the production of certain body oils, genetic factors, and the overgrowth of a specific natural skin yeast.

2.    Does it make you itch?
Undoubtedly. Itching is one of the well-noted symptoms of the condition. Patients who have it can also notice certain scaly patches which are yellow, thickened, and greasy-appearing.

3.    Are there natural treatments for it?
Many people describe the usage of these natural remedies for seborrheic dermatitis. Unfortunately, none of them have been proven with scientific studies and can actually harm the skin. These include apple cider vinegar, krill oil, raw honey, aloe Vera, and others.
