Symptom 3: Dandruff
Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the leading causes of dandruff, a condition characterized by the presence of white or yellow flakes on the scalp and in the hair. Dandruff can be a result of the excessive shedding of dead skin cells caused by the inflammation and irritation associated with seborrheic dermatitis.
Dandruff can be both unsightly and uncomfortable, causing embarrassment and self-consciousness for those affected. It can also lead to further itching and discomfort on the scalp. To manage dandruff, it’s essential to use a medicated shampoo specifically designed for seborrheic dermatitis, as regular shampoos may not be effective in controlling the symptoms.
In addition to using medicated shampoos, it’s crucial to maintain proper scalp hygiene by washing the hair regularly and avoiding the use of harsh hair products that may exacerbate the condition. If dandruff persists despite these measures, it’s vital to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment. (3)
