Avatar m tn s a red dot underneath, and if I use a drying soap, it looks like a crater later. I also get scabs and sore spots on my scalp, which a dermatologist told me was seborrheic dermatitis.

Avatar n tn Seborrheic dermatitis would be the primary diagnosis ( petaloid seborrheic dermatitis) with 'pityrisais rosea' coming as close second (Unlikely with such a long duration and scalp involvement) Guess would respond to ketoconazole cremes. Do consult your doc.
Avatar n tn I suggest that you refrain from using the supplement if this has been associated with the onset of the symptoms. An evaluation by a dermatologist will be able to help. Seborrheic dermatitis and fungal infections may require medicated shampoos. Frequent shampooing may be necessary in your case. Do keep us posted regarding physician's advise.
Avatar f tn Hi You might be suffering from scalp (seborrheic) dermatitis or scalp eczema or scalp psoriasis. The exact diagnosis depends on clinical examination. Seborrheic dermatitis presents as dry skin on the scalp, which flakes off (dandruff). The skin on the face, behind the ears, eyelids, nose and chest may also be affected. Symptoms of scalp eczema may include greasy yellowish scales that may turn flake off along intensely itchy and inflamed red scalp.
Avatar n tn Malassezia yeast has been associated with seborrheic dermatitis but the exact cause of the condition is yet to be defined. Given this, what you have is still hair loss with scalp disease as dandruff is a disease. Your physician is treating you in the line of a fungal infection hence, the intake of oral medications. Seborrheic dermatitis may recur and persist given the right triggers.
Avatar f tn t use conditioner of any kind because it annoys my scalp. I get relief by soaking my scalp in a solution of warm water and Epsom salts though. If that is helpful you could take magnesium supplements like mag citrate and vitamin D3. We are so deficient in vitamins and minerals now that the soil is so depleted. So that's why we get skin problems.

Firstly I have the seborrheic dermatitis for five years, and nothing is helping, neither dozens of shampoos, nor folk remedies. And in the second place I'm loosing my hairs for last year. I can't suppose with what it may be related. My nutrition is healthy I think. I dare suggest that these two problems may be related, but i'm not sure. What would you may to recommend to me?
Avatar n tn In seborrheic dermatitis, the scalp is greasy and when severe may present with scales. The cause of seborrheic dermatitis is still unknown although yeast infections, stress and weather have been implicated. A dermatologist is the best person to consult with this. Vigorous and frequent shampooing is the mainstay of therapy more than the type of shampoo being used. So wash your hair frequently and scrub the scalp vigorously. Discuss this with your dermatologist.
Avatar n tn I have had seborrheic dermatitis since I was a kid. I saw a doctor when it first showed up around my nose, and HIV has never ever been mentioned. It's just a type of dermatitis, not really that different from dandruff. It's very common. I just wash my hair with head and shoulders brand intensive treatment shampoo and it clears up my face just fine. I don't even need to use it daily, just during outbreaks.

Avatar f tn Diagnosis is by clinical examination of the scalp as well as a KOH examination of the scalp skin scrapings and skin lesion biopsy with microscopic examination. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn Soaps and detergents such as sodium laureth sulfate may precipitate a flare-up, as they strip moisture from the top layers of the skin, and the drying property of these can cause flare-ups and may worsen the condition. Avoid using these and choose a suitable alternative for cleansing the skin. Or it could just be xerosis.Xerosis is the medical term for dry skin. It can have many different causes, including general dehydration, Vitamin A deficiency, and diabetes.
Avatar f tn Looking for some advice on this nagging condition, please. I am a male and 29 years old. For the last 7-8 months I've noticed several areas of my scalp to be noticeably red and inflamed. This is affecting my crown, some parts of my sides, and also some areas above my nape. I do get random bouts of itchiness from these areas. The red areas are not flaky or raised, just noticeably red and itchy. This does not affect my entire scalp, but only specific areas mentioned above.
1282085 tn?1271747516 I would like to know the very best treatment options to getting rid of this forever if at all possible. How did I figure out how I had Seborrheic dermatitis..well it was via a military doctor who changed my diagnosis that rendered me entry into the military back in 2005. I am sick and tired of the dry scalp and face peeling. I have been putting Olive Oil and Tea Tree Oil on when I am on my way out the door to keep from being embarassed.
Avatar f tn There is no definite cure for seborrheic dermatitis. Psoriasis may present as white scales on the scalp. It may also affect other areas of the body like the nails, navel and elbows. It is hard for me to suggest anything because if an inappropriate medication is given it may only worsen your condition. A microscopic evaluation of the skin scraping of the involved skin will be able to help rule out a fungal infection.
Avatar n tn It sounds more like seborrheic dermatitis that you have, That is much more common behind the ears, under hair, and on the chest than Rosacea. Rosacea and Seborrheic dermatitis sometimes occur at the same time.

Avatar n tn The most likely differential for this is a severe case of seborrheic dermatitis. The cause for seborrheic dermatitis is yet unknown and there is no definite form of medical therapy as this condition may recur. Others have associated yeast infections with it. While some have implicated stress and environmental factors. You may seek second opinion for your condition. Does anyone in the family also have a similar condition?
Avatar n tn Hi, probably it is because of seborrheic dermatitis, you might be having acne problem. In some people, a yeast (fungus) called malassezia grows in the sebum along with bacteria. Antifungal treatments, such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), are often effective. “Try using the shampoo daily until your symptoms are controlled, then cut back to two or three times a week.
Avatar n tn 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?
