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.

Hello! a baby’s skin is delicate so use anti dandruff shampoo twice a week and rest of the days use baby shampoo. Much of the normal dandruff is cleared by shampooing regularly. If the dandruff returns switch to another anti dandruff shampoo containing zinc, selenium sulphide or salicylic acid but that should too be used only twice a week.
