Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like seborrheic dermatitis. It is an inflammatory reaction related to the proliferation of normal skin habitant Malassezia.

Scalp fungus is otherwise known as seborrheic dermatitis. You can't contract it at the barbers. No one knows why it develops but it is caused by an abnormally large amount of a particular fungus which is present on most adults' scalps. (It also causes dandruff).

If the shampoo alone doesn't help, prescription medication may be indicated.

Symptoms of scalp eczema may include greasy yellowish scales that may turn flake off along intensely itchy and inflamed red scalp.
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. Is this the same thing? Would it have spread to my face for some reason?

For the last four years I feel itching, scaling and flakes on my scalp. Now only i came to know that this is Seborrheic Dermatitis. Because of this I lost almost 40% of my hairs. I learnt that this is a temporary hair loss.
I tried many shampoo's like selsun,scalpe etc. And also i have been intaking Glacex(B-complex vit) tablets long time. Still My problem is not resolved.
Last four year i consulted many doctors (Skin specialists).
You can place photos on your home page in the photo section. Come back and let me know if you do. So, this washes off? It's not just coloring of his skin? Could it be seborrheic dermatitis? That's often on scalp and face but can be elsewhere too on the body. What type of doctor has he been seeing?
