seborrheic-dermatitis

Avatar m tn I would suggest you to get this red rash evaluated from a dermatologist first before using any steroid cream because the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is different from eczema. From the symptoms seborrheic dermatitis is a possibility along with other possibilities of contact dermatitis or dermatitis and need to be ruled out. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn Hello, The other possibility that I has thought of was seborrheic dermatitis since the site involved is common for both eczema and seborrheic dermatitis and they closely resemble each other in physical appearance but the lesions of seborrheic dermatitis usually presents as yellow, flaky lesions. A biopsy skin and allergy tests can differentiate between the two and confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to comment precisely beyond this stage.
Avatar n tn The dry rash that you have on your penis can be due to seborrheic dermatitis.The main treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is corticosteroids and shampoos containing ciclopiroxolamine, ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione(like in antidandruff shampoos). In cases where steroids are not working,low doses of Accutane (Isotretinoin) are helpful.But it should be taken only after prescription from a dermatologist.
Avatar n tn Hello, It can be due to seborrheic dermatitis, eczema or rosacea. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites).
Avatar f tn Hello, Since seborrheic dermatitis is caused by overgrowth of fungus, so any dietary changes or herbal remedies is not going to help.

Avatar m tn I was told by my dermo that I had Seborrheic dermatitis. It was dry itchy and scaly under my beard, in the nose folds, ears and eyebrows. I was given desonate gel to use for 2 weeks and things calmed down. However now I just have a redness itchy forehead. I put moisture cream o it and it doesnt really help. Is this still donsidered Seborrheic dermatitis? And would the desonate gel still be the right rx to use?
Avatar m tn Hello, It looks like seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is believed to be an inflammatory reaction related to the proliferation of normal skin habitant Malassezia – a yeast, which produces toxic substances that infect and irate the skin. The disease is neither contagious nor related with diet but it may be aggravated by other illness like Psychological stress, immune compromised patients, neurological diseases like Parkinsonism and stroke.

I dont want to get treatment to unknown doctors. because my problem is severe. I lost my hairs.
Avatar f tn I have been researching this online and think it is seborrheic dermatitis. I have been using clotrimazole cream twice daily as suggested on the JUST ANSWER DERMATOLOGY site for 3 days now. My question is: what are the stages of healing of this problem? Now I have much more "crusting over" and it is very dry and more itchy than before beginning the use of the cream. By the description I've given do you think it is in the healing process? Thank you ahead of time for your opinion.
Avatar f tn Hello, From the symptoms and pictures it looks like perioral dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis on the forehead. 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. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. Diagnosis has to be confirmed first.
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 m tn Hello, It can be due to dermatitis skin, seborrheic dermatitis or due to fungal infections like pityriasis alba. Pityriasis alba is a common skin condition usually seen as dry, fine-scaled, pale patches on the face. No treatment is required and the patches in time will settle in due course of time. The redness, scale and itch if present may be managed with simple emollients and sometimes hydrocortisone, a weak steroid, is also used. Severe cases may require PUVA therapy.
Avatar n tn Male or female pattern baldness may follow a hereditary pattern. Treatment of the tinea and seborrheic dermatitis may help resolve the hair loss. Creams may not be sufficient for scalp infections. You may need oral antifungal therapy. But first a microscopic evaluation of the scalp scrapings may be done to ascertain the diagnosis.
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 f tn Initially, diagnosed with Contact dermatitis. Then other dermatologists say Seborrheic. Is there anything out there to lighten up scarring on especially the face from the effects of Seborrheic Dermatitis naturally? If not, over the counter. After different meds from different dermatologists . Finally on one that is currently helping, for now, but face is scarred from where the bumps were appearing. Never had blemishes on face like this. Any suggestions to ask my dermatologist?
Avatar n tn The underarm itch may possibly related to the scalp problem, though, because a condition called seborrheic dermatitis (seborrhea, for short) can affect both. The cause is unknown--even infants get it--but it can cause itch in both the locations you mention. Perhaps the scalp was infected from scratching, but seborrhea itself is not infectious. Seborrhea can be controlled, but it comes back when it wants to, so you needn't hold that against your dermatologist.
