Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaking, redness, and itching, most often on the scalp, face, and other oily areas of the body. In mild cases, it appears as dandruff, but more severe forms can lead to inflamed, scaly patches that don’t go away with over-the-counter treatments. At Embrace Dermatology, we provide personalized treatment plans to control seborrheic dermatitis, relieve discomfort, and restore healthy skin balance.
Treatment
With consistent treatment, most patients see significant improvement in symptoms.
At Embrace Dermatology, we focus on reducing inflammation, controlling flaking, and soothing irritation with customized treatments, including:
Prescription-strength antifungal or anti-inflammatory shampoos to reduce flaking and irritation.
Prescription creams or foams to calm inflammation and prevent flare-ups.
In some cases, antifungal or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed.
Recommendations on gentle hair and skin care routines to minimize irritation.
Management
With proper care and expert guidance, seborrheic dermatitis can be kept under control, allowing for healthier, more comfortable skin. Although seborrheic dermatitis cannot be completely cured, the right habits can help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups:
to prevent excess oil buildup
that can worsen irritation
to prevent flare-ups triggered by emotional strain
If persistent dandruff, redness, or scalp irritation is affecting your comfort and confidence, professional dermatologic treatment can help. Request an Appointment today to explore customized solutions for seborrheic dermatitis.
