Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, chronic skin condition that primarily affects areas of the body with a high number of oil glands, such as the scalp, face, and upper chest. Here's some general information about it: 1. **symptoms:** it often presents with red, scaly, and sometimes itchy patches on the skin. These can be flaky, greasy, or crusty. 2. **causes:** the exact cause is not fully understood, but factors like overproduction of skin oil (sebum), yeast overgrowth (malassezia), genetics, and certain environmental factors may contribute. 3. **common areas:** seborrheic dermatitis commonly occurs on the scalp, leading to dandruff. It can also affect the eyebrows, eyelids, ears, sides of the nose, and chest. 4. **age:** it can affect people of all ages, from infants (cradle cap) to adults, but it's more common in adults. 5. **triggers:** factors like stress, hormonal changes, cold weather, and certain skincare products can exacerbate symptoms. 6. **treatment:** management typically involves prescription shampoos, creams, or lotions to reduce inflammation and control yeast growth. Medicated dandruff shampoos are often used for scalp involvement. 7. **lifestyle:** maintaining good hygiene practices, avoiding harsh skincare products, and managing stress can help manage symptoms. 8. **medical advice:** if you suspect you have seborrheic dermatitis or if symptoms are severe or persistent, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Remember, the severity and course of seborrheic dermatitis can vary among individuals, so it's important to work with a dermatologist for proper management.

Hi, pls use a mild facewash or dove soap. Use a moisturizer like cetaphil immediately after bath on face. Stop diprovate g if used for 3 weeks as longer use can give side effects. Apply an antibiotic cream like nadoxin on the pimples. Pls attach pictures for further assessment if needed. Avoid rubbing or scrubs on face. Since your face is dry with pimples, very specific creams would be needed which can be specified only after assessment. Take care.
