Do any of these feel familiar?
- Seborrhoeic dermatitis is most commonly experienced as flaky, scaly skin and redness in oily areas of the body — particularly the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, and chest
- On the scalp, it produces persistent dandruff that is often difficult to control
- The skin may feel itchy, greasy, or irritated
- Flares are commonly triggered by stress, cold or dry weather, hormonal changes, and certain skincare products
- Many people describe the condition as a chronic companion — largely manageable during remission but returning reliably under the right conditions
- The visible nature of flaking on hair and clothing can cause self-consciousness, particularly in social and professional settings
