What does dandruff shampoo do for the flaky dermatitis on the eyelid? Are you saying by strictly using a dandruff shampoo that will help the flaky dry skin go away on your eyelid? Or do you use the shampoo and also rub it on your eyelid during the process?
Hmmm, confused.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil). Later, pityrosporum yeast grows excessively in the sebum, sometime along with bacteria, making the dermatitis more persistent.
Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches.
Hi. I have Sebborheic dermatitis on my scalp and face. I am most concerned about the area on my upper cheeks either side of my nose. I have been given a steroid based cream..which completely clears it up but am worried about how often I should use it on my face. I don't want to use it all the time but it does work. I live in Japan and have asked the doctor and pharmacist this question but don't really understand the answers they gave me.

They seem to be made out of dandruff or built up dead skin cells, but I use a specialized shampoo that keeps my scalp moisturized since I've had dandruff issues before. The bumps leak a clear fluid when I scratch them off, and, as expected of an open "wound", sting when in contact with anything external. There is no specific odor that is identifiable, and I have not been able to see one of the bumps via a photo to determine color.

Head lice is another common cause of itchy scalps which can easily spread with close contact. Stress is another factor that is a possible cause of your condition.
Hello mepaule,
There are several causes of your symptons. Infections, eczema, psoriasis, etc. The best option is to go to a dermatologist. They will look to the harden flakes and exam your scalp and will prescribe something to heal.
Hello,
Seborrehic dermatitis or adult cradle cap can present like dandruff but other causes like dandruff, folliculitis of the scalp, fungal infections, alopecia aereata, hormonal imbalance (overproduction of dihydrotestosterone and thyroid hormones irregularities),malnutrition, telogen effluvium and sebum plugs on skin also need to be ruled out one by one.
But does these symptoms resembles dermatitis or eczema? I mean getting flakes on face is not normal I guess. I have had dandruff on scalp but face is very ambarrasing. Also I have read on Internet that these doesn't have cure?
When I get up in morning I see white flakes on face. Also after washing my face becomes completely dry and flakes would appear which doesn't go away until I apply lotion to hide it.

However, if there is some itchiness noted on the scalp, then we may have to consider seborrheic dermatitis or a fungal infection at this point. Seborrheic dermatitis is far more common. It causes what we commonly term as dandruff.
Are there any associated scaling or flaking on the scalp?
