Hence if your child is school going then it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis. However it is often hereditary and if you have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis, then your child carries the risk of having it in future life during adulthood.
Moreover it causes redness and inflammation of skin with yellow patches or red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. Hence it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis in your child’s case but confirmation needs to be done.
Hello,
Since seborrheic dermatitis is caused by overgrowth of fungus, so any dietary changes or herbal remedies is not going to help. You can however try the above mentioned treatment once the weaning starts, Till then please keep your skin well hydrated and moisturized .
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I've been told I have seborrheic dermatitis and doing research on natural treatments, I always read about it being associated with HIV, which does worry me, because about 7 years ago, I had unprotected sex, with someone who's status I'm not aware of. So why is SD associated with HIV?
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.
Possibly a Seborrheic dermatitis.Do consult yor doc.Best wishes.
Yeast infection has a tendency to recur, even if treated previously. On the other hand, seborrheic dermatitis is a disease that causes flaking of the skin and usually affects the scalp or the skin on other parts of the body, such as the face and chest, and the creases of the arms, legs and groin. The exact cause is not known, but it may be caused by a fungus which may be confirmed with skin scrapings from the site and evaluating it under the microscope.
A seborrheic dermatitis and would respond well to hydrocotisone creme if so. A photodermatitis is a differential and might require sunscreens. Do consult your doctor.
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?
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). I suggest you try Nizoral shampoo and then if that stops working psoriasin for scalp from shopinprivate.com.
Seborrheic dermatitis would indeed look and feign as fungus.If so would respond to hydrocortisone application as a short course.
I was diagnosed by my dermatologist as having Seborrheic Dermatitis however all medications that I have tried have not been working so my doctor has precribed quite a strong medication called Azapress (a generic medication for Imuran). Thus, my questions are as follows:
1. Will this disease ever go away?
2. What is the success rate for this medication to deal with Seborrheic Dermatitis and what are other options?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin disorder that mainly affects the scalp, causing itchy, yellow or white patchy scales or thick crusts that may attach to the hair shaft, as seen in the lower left side of the image.
Your doctor may recommend topical creams, ultraviolet light therapy, or oral medication to help restore skin color and stop the spread of white patches. Skin grafts are also effective for getting rid of small patches of white skin.
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like seborrheic dermatitis. It is an inflammatory reaction related to the proliferation of normal skin habitant Malassezia. From the symptoms it does not look like any fungal infection which presents as itchy patches with hair loss. However to confirm the diagnosis I suggest you to get a biopsy of the scalp skin done.
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?

You should use hot water for a while to make sure the fungus is washed out of your clothes. If it might be your laundry detergent, use a clear one for sensitive skin. Use the measuring cup and use the proper amount. Add in a handful of baking soda to kill fungus also. If you have athlete's foot, you must treat that also or you will transfer it to your underwear as you step into them.
Hello,
From the symptoms it does not look like a STD but it is good that you have had the STD panel tests. From the symptoms it can be eczema or seborrheic dermatitis. It is caused by overgrowth of fungus and that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas on the face, upper torse and sometimes the genitalia. Treatment for both is entirely different and so I would suggest a dermatologist’s evaluation to confirm the diagnosis first.
I sincerely hope that helps.
I developed seborrheic dermatitis on my face that is mild and controlled by creams a couple of weeks after a sexual encounter with a woman of unknown hiv status. It is now several years later and SD is still with me off and on and I never had it before the encounter and I am experiencing no other symptoms. I have also had anxiety ever since the encounter and have gained 20lbs.
When during the course of HIV infection when does SD usually occur?
Hi,
This may sound like an eczematous disease.Examples of which are seborrheic dermatitis, contact and allergic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. However, a consult with a dermatologist is necessary to identify the condition.
Meanwhile, apply cool compress over the face to reduce itchiness. An OTC antihistamine may be able to relieve the symptoms.Moisturize the face with a bland hypoallergenic cream ( do not use lotion) as needed.
Avoid exposure to heat , dry environments, abrasive soaps.
