Seborrheic dermatitis is a prevalent, chronic skin condition that affects both children and adults. It causes scaly patches and pink to yellowish skin in areas rich in oil glands, primarily on the scalp but also commonly on the ears, central face, upper chest, and back. The condition ranges in severity, from mild dandruff on the scalp to more noticeable scaly, red patches on the skin. In darker skin tones, some affected areas may appear lighter in color.

Although there is no cure for seborrheic dermatitis, it can typically be well-managed with treatment. If you’re experiencing persistent or severe flare-ups, it may be time to consult a dermatologist about options for better symptom control, including prescription-level treatments.
