Seborrheic dermatitis treatment for hair loss
Common Questions and Answers about Seborrheic dermatitis treatment for hair loss
seborrheic-dermatitis
At this point, there is really no effective medical therapy for hair loss. If your hair loss is associated with tinea and seborrheic dermatitis then the underlying disorders need to be addressed first.
Hair loss also has a genetic basis. 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.
If the symptoms persist, then it would be best to get it confirmed from a trichologist. Regarding the hair loss, unless and until the hair follicles are intact, hair will regrow. Otherwise you may need hair transplantation.
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.
If severe outbreaks are untreated for extended intervals, permanent hair loss may result, because of damage to hair follicles.

Soaps and detergents such as sodium laureate 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. Accordingly a suitable alternative should be used instead.
Thanks a lot for the response. I researched seborrheic dermatitis and that could be what I have. I used to have dandruff/flaking, but not anymore. Now, the skin is greasy with mild redness/itching sometimes. I lose hair pretty infrequently, maybe a couple hairs a week. But it has become pretty noticeable over time.
So with seborrhea, will the hairs grow back? Any products I can use to restore growth?
I think the treatment time was 6 weeks, but it said on the insert under the instructions for seborrheic dermatitis. I just had major flaking/scaling, though, not major hair loss, but I think the cream would work better for you.
You may need topical medications for this. Differentials will be a fungal infection and seborrheic dermatitis.
There is no definite medical treatment for seborrheic dermatitis. Frequent and vigorous shampooing with medicated shampoos is the mainstay of therapy.
Is there any associated hair loss?
I am also having a little pain in hair frollic's when i drag my hand thru them.
Please advise...
Is this the symptom of seborrheic dermatitis? is seborrheic can cause hair lost? i can see my the hair regrowth so far, but they are very thin.
I have been having electrolysis on my face and this is when it first appeared and only came after my electrolysis treatement. However after my 3rd treatment my skin cleared up for a week and then the Seborrheic Dermatitis came back again without any inflammation of electrolysis. I have been prescrbibed hydrocortisone cream 1%.
I basically have 4 questions if anyone could help.
1) Does Seborrheic Dermatitis come in cycles or can it appear irratically?
I am a 24 year old male that is experiencing progressive hair loss. Lately, I have noticed these yellowish/brownish,waxy crusts on the crown area of my scalp. These waxy crusts attach themselves to hair follicles, and if picked at, come off with clumps of hair (sometimes 4 or 5 hairs together). These crusts do not itch or burn. I also have some redness/flaking skin occurring around my nose, eyebrows and forehead.
There is really no definite treatment for seborrheic dermatitis. If the condition is severe, topical corticosteroids may be able to help. Discuss this with your dermatologist, so that the corticosteroid with the right potency be given you. Also, frequent and vigorous shampooing is important.
Hi
I understand that you are worried about this. Hair loss may be due to several things. A scalp condition such as seborrheic dermatitis which may be causing the dandruff appears to be the prime culprit in your case. Use the medicated shampoos only twice a week and in between, use regular shampoos .It is necessary that frequent and vigorous shampooing with a mild shampoo may be done. Application of topical corticosteroids may also be done if the dandruff persists despite the shampooing.
To anyone who can help. I have had a really bad case of scalp Seborrheic dermatitis for the past several years. I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of it and nothing will work. I have tried every kind of oil and shampoos.
It is covering my whole scalp and they are very thick scales that even makes my hair grow slow because it has to grow through these scales.
This "bout" of Seborrheic dermatitis started about 5 years ago.
The fact that there is associated hair loss,a fungal infection and seborrheic dermatitis have to be considered here .These are conditions that usually involve the scapl and may lead to hair loss.
Take antihistamines for the itching. Also, continue using the topical medications and try to observe your condition. If there are any possible known triggers like abrasive soaps and cleansers, food, heat, smoke and alcohol, avoid them as much as possible.
If severe outbreaks are untreated for extended intervals, permanent hair loss may result, because of damage to hair follicles.

Hi All,
On 26/12/12 is started a therapy for my asthma outbreak with Cortisone, antibiotics, nebulizer drugs and some other pills so i can breathe during night. I stop cortisone on 09/01/13 and i continued with my Controller Medications. Three days ago i noticed that my cheeks red and swollen. Doctor told me is like a burning from the sun (heavy winter now in my country and no sun for days) and he gave me a cortisone cream for the face.
