NUNLEY, M.D. Medical College of Virginia Campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia A patient information handout on seborrheic dermatitis, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 2713. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting areas of the head and trunk where sebaceous glands are most prominent. Lipophilic yeasts of the Malassezia genus, as well as genetic, environmental and general health factors, contribute to this disorder. Scalp seborrhea varies from mild dandruff to dense, diffuse, adherent scale. Facial and trunk seborrhea is characterized by powdery or greasy scale in skin folds and along hair margins. Treatment options include application of selenium sulfide, pyrithione zinc or ketoconazole-containing shampoos, topical ketoconazole cream or terbinafine solution, topical sodium sulfacetamide and topical corticosteroids. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:2703-10,2713-4.) T he etiology of seborrheic dermatitis remains unknown, although many factors, including hormonal, have been implicated. This chronic inflammatory skin disorder is generally confined to areas of the head and trunk where sebaceous glands are most prominent. When seborrheic dermatitis occurs in the neonatal period, it usually disappears by six to 12 months of age, suggesting that it may be a response to maternal hormone stimulation.

Return to top What causes seborrheic dermatitis? The exact cause isn't known. The cause may be different in infants and adults. Seborrheic dermatitis may be related to hormones, because the disorder often appears in infancy and disappears before puberty. Or the cause might be a fungus, called malassezia. This organism is normally present on the skin in small numbers, but sometimes its numbers increase, resulting in skin problems.

Seborrheic Dermatitis HOME Announcements After Hours Care Contact Us ... STUDENT AFFAIRS LINKS Description First encounters are memorable. I can remember feeling this slightly itchy, flaky rash developing around the edge of my nose during the first year of medical school, a highly stressful time. This was my first encounter with seborrheic dermatitis and it has remained with me off and on ever since, acting as a barometer of my stress level. It is a common skin problem of young professionals. Seborrhea is a disorder of inflammation and scaling that occurs in oily skin, like behind the ears, in the groove around the nose, on the eyebrows, sideburns and the scalp. The scalp component is considered a variant of common dandruff (see companion piece under D). Cause Current thinking is that the skin is reacting to an overgrowth of Pityrosporum yeast in oil-bearing skin. There is an inherited component and there are some features in common with psoriasis. An intriguing fact is that any emotional or physical stress can cause seborrhea to worsen. There is no more dramatic example than when an individual develops the AIDS syndrome. In these cases, the rash shows a florid redness and scaling covering not only the face but the entire chest. Signs and Symptoms Mild forms are simple dandruff with a little redness, often at the hairline. More extensive forms demonstrate a greasy scale on a red base, with a predilection for the eyebrows, nasolabial groove (beside the nose), and the anterior chest. Occasionally it is limited to the armpit or groin, where it can be easily mistaken for 'ringworm.'

It is a very easily treatable condition. Seborrhea commonly manifests itself as a red, scaly, itchy rash most commonly seen on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, skin behind the ears, and middle of the chest. Seborrheic dermatitis can also effect the navel (belly button), buttocks, skin folds under the arms, axillary regions, breasts, and groin, or other places where there are flaps of skin. Causes of seborrheic dermatitis: Seborrheic dermatitis can occur within patients that have neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Patients recovering from traumatic events such as heart attacks can develop seborrheic dermatitis. People in hospitals or nursing homes and people with immune system disorders can more prone to the disease. Most research will support the theory that a microorganism called "pityrosporum ovale", which is normally present in the skin, but can begin to feed on the dead skin cells and cause a rapid shedding of the skin, which appears as large, oily flakes and causes a red, itchy scalp. Normally, the skin will shed every 28 days, but this microorganism can cause the skin to shed every 7-21 days, like dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis can also be called "Cradle Crap" and can occur in small infants.

17. Dandruff We refer to these as seborrheic dermatitis or seborrhea. In dandruff and seborrheathere has been noted an association with a yeast known as Pityrosporum http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/dandruff.htm

Dandruff HOME Announcements After Hours Care Contact Us ... STUDENT AFFAIRS LINKS Description All of us have dandruff. It is a natural process, caused by the turnover and renewal of skin on the scalp (and elsewhere, for that matter). It becomes a cosmetic problem when shedding of old skin exceeds our ability to remove it, showing up as dry flakes on our collar and clogging our comb. Itching can be a problem too. On average the scalp skin replaces itself about once every 28 days. If turnover speeds up to every 11 days the net result is obvious dandruff. If the metabolic rate is increased still further, for example in psoriasis, where the replacement is every 4 days, a patch of red, thick, adherent scale develops. There are in-between cases where you find larger flakes and itchy red areas scattered about the scalp and along the hairline, even in the ears and eyebrows. We refer to these as seborrheic dermatitis or seborrhea. In dandruff and seborrhea there has been noted an association with a yeast known as Pityrosporum ovale, a member of our normal flora. Treatment We are not going to stop this natural process. However, we can control it either by removing scale faster than it is produced or by slowing it down, or possibly, where Pityrosporum yeast is involved, by reducing its colonization.
