01
What it is
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition that often affects oil-rich areas such as the scalp. It can cause flaking, scale, itching and irritated skin.
The condition can improve and flare again over time, which means treatment may involve both controlling active symptoms and maintaining scalp health between flare-ups.
02
How can seborrhoeic dermatitis appear?
Symptoms can range from mild dandruff-like flaking to more noticeable scalp irritation and recurring scale.
White or yellowish-looking scale may develop around oily areas of the scalp.
Flaking may improve temporarily and then return over time.
Affected areas can become inflamed, sensitive or visibly different from surrounding skin.
The scalp may feel repeatedly itchy or uncomfortable during a flare.
Scale or irritation may sometimes appear near the edges of the scalp.
Oil, scale and flakes may accumulate around the scalp and hair roots.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Some scalp symptoms deserve closer dermatologist evaluation.
Thick or widespread scalp scale
Significant redness, pain or tenderness
Oozing, crusting or signs of infection
Noticeable patchy or persistent hair loss
Symptoms that do not respond to appropriate scalp care
03
What to expect
Scalp & flare assessment
Oiliness, scale, irritation and the frequency of recurring symptoms are carefully evaluated.
Personalised flare treatment
Treatment may include medicated dandruff shampoos or other topical therapies according to the severity and location of the condition.
Maintenance & follow-up
Because seborrhoeic dermatitis tends to recur, ongoing medicated shampoo or scalp care may sometimes be recommended to reduce future flare-ups.

Physician note
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is often a recurring condition, so treatment is about controlling the flare and maintaining a healthier scalp between episodes.
