Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales, and red skin to form on oily areas such as the scalp, face, torso or inside the ear.
In adolescents and adults, seborrhoeic dermatitis usually presents as scalp scaling similar to dandruff or as mild to marked erythema of the nasolabial fold.
The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown. Doctors think it may be due to a combination hormone levels, weakened immune system, lack of certain nutrients, or nervous system problems.
Irritation from a yeast called Malassezia may also lead to this condition. Seborrheic dermatitis appears to run in families.
