At Dermanation Clinic in Noida, I, Dr. Rachna Singh, offer comprehensive strategies to manage seborrheic dermatitis. This common skin condition can manifest with symptoms like scalp irritation, flaking (dandruff), and redness on various areas of the skin. Effective management often involves specialized medicated shampoos containing ingredients such as ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or pyrithione zinc to help control these symptoms on the scalp. For affected skin on the face and body, I may prescribe topical antifungal creams or ointments containing ketoconazole, along with anti-inflammatory agents like hydrocortisone or calcineurin inhibitors. In more persistent or severe cases, oral antifungal medications or a short course of corticosteroids might be considered. Emphasizing a gentle skincare approach with mild cleansers and suitable moisturizers is also crucial in soothing irritated skin and preventing further aggravation. Furthermore, identifying and minimizing potential triggers such as stress, harsh skincare products, and extreme environmental conditions can play a significant role in long-term symptom management.

Our Approach to Managing Seborrheic Dermatitis in Noida

Understanding the Factors Involved:

The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of several factors, including:

It's important to note that seborrheic dermatitis is not caused by an allergic reaction or poor hygiene.

Seborrheic dermatitis can affect individuals of all ages, with a higher prevalence in newborns (cradle cap) and adults between 30 and 60 years of age. It tends to be more common in men and in individuals with oily skin types.

Recognizing the Symptoms:

Seborrheic dermatitis is commonly known as dandruff in adults and cradle cap in infants. Cradle cap typically presents as crusty, yellow or brown scales on the scalp of babies 3 months and younger. While it often resolves within the first year, it can sometimes recur during puberty.

In adults, seborrheic dermatitis can appear on the face, particularly around the nose, within the eyebrows, on the eyelids, or behind the ears. It can also affect other areas of the body, including:

In infants, seborrheic dermatitis in the diaper area might sometimes be mistaken for a diaper rash.

The affected skin may be itchy, feel like it's burning, or appear red. The flaking scales can be white or yellowish in color and may have a moist or oily appearance.

Given that seborrheic dermatitis can resemble other skin conditions, it's essential to consult with me at Dermanation Clinic in Noida for an accurate diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment plan. During your consultation, I will review your medical history and carefully examine your skin. Further tests may be recommended if there's a suspicion of an underlying medical condition contributing to your symptoms.
