It is the most common irritating disease of the scalp, yet it can spread to face, back, neck and chest. Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common skin condition seen frequently in clinical practice. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing erythematous scaly skin disease, the prevalence of which is around 1 to 3% of the general population in the United States. It has two incidence peaks, the first in the first three months of life and the second beginning at puberty and reaching its apex at 40 to 60 years of age. Still, it affects most of the people once in a while regardless of gender, age or race. Both genetic factors and environmental factors play roles in this disease.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Reddish skin rashes with scaling, erythema, and itching-occur most often on the scalp, face, chest, back, axilla, and groin.
CAUSES
Infection by Malassezia yeast.
FISIOPATOLOGIA
The currently accepted theory on the pathogenesis of this disease advocates that yeast of Malassezia spp., present on the skin surface of susceptible individuals, leads to a non-immunogenic irritation due to the production of unsaturated fatty acids deposited on the skin surface.
DIAGNOSI
Clinical evaluation
TREATMENTS
Antifungal agents such as topical ketoconazole is the mainstay of therapy for seborrheic dermatitis of the face and body. Because of possible adverse effects, anti-inflammatory agents such as topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors should be used only for short durations. Several over-the-counter shampoos are available for treatment of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. Antifungal shampoos (long-term) and topical corticosteroids (short-term) can be used as second-line agents for treatment of scalp seborrheic dermatitis.

A study was done to determine whether specific dietary patterns or total antioxidant capacity are associated with seborrheic dermatitis. Participants with a skin examination and a food frequency questionnaire were included. The study concluded that a high fruit intake was associated with less seborrheic dermatitis, whereas high adherence to a “Western” dietary pattern in females was associated with more seborrheic dermatitis.

A randomized, comparative clinical trial, using two groups, was conducted over 6 months. Patients in Group ISO were treated with isotretinoin 10 mg every other day. In Group X, patients received antiseborrheic topical treatment. The rate of sebum production significantly decreased in Group ISO.Low-dose oral isotretinoin can be a therapeutic modality for moderate to severe seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis.
