| What is Seborrheic Dermatitis? |
| Seborrheic Dermatitis is a type of hair loss due to overproduction of sebum and excessive oiliness of the scalp. It is mostly highly found in young men starting from puberty up until the ages around 40 and over. Due to follicle shrink, the hair on the forehead and on both sides becomes thin and as a result this affects the appearance of the crown region. There are 2 types of seborrheic hair loss each different in its own characteristics. The dry type (also known as the block type) tends to have sebum containing more saturated fatty acid thus making the sebum sticky. This results in a congested follicle and the hair becoming dry and fragile. Moreover, flaky dandruff is prevalent making the scalp seriously itchy which can also cause sore and red patches. On the other hand, the oily type (also known as the secretion type) is the opposite where the sebum contains more unsaturated fatty acid thus the sebum is thin. This produces an oily scalp along with hair and oily dandruff. Some relief for seborrheic hair loss can include stress management, regular exercise, consuming less oily and deep fried food and maintaining a well balanced diet and lifestyle. |
