Understanding Seborrheic Eczema
Seborrheic eczema, also known as seborrheic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It primarily affects the scalp, face, and other areas of the body with a high concentration of oil glands. Although it is not contagious or life-threatening, seborrheic eczema can cause discomfort and embarrassment due to its visible symptoms.
Symptoms and Causes
The exact cause of seborrheic eczema is unknown, but several factors may contribute to its development. These include genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, a weakened immune system, stress, and certain environmental factors. The symptoms of seborrheic eczema can vary from person to person but commonly include:
- Red, inflamed skin
- Flaky, scaly patches
- Itchy or burning sensation
- Oily or greasy appearance
- Dandruff-like flakes on the scalp
