Seborrheic Dermatitis
What is Seborrheic Dermatitis?
Seborrheic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects areas rich in oil glands — such as the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose, beard region, chest, and upper back.
It is characterized by oily skin, white or yellowish flakes, itching, redness, and persistent irritation. On the scalp, it often appears as stubborn dandruff; on the face, it creates flaky, greasy, or red patches.
Though commonly linked to fungal overgrowth (Malassezia), its deeper triggers include stress, weather changes, hormonal imbalance, and individual skin sensitivity.
At Elegance Homoeopathy Clinic, our seborrheic dermatitis homoeopathy treatment focuses on regulating scalp and skin oil production, reducing inflammation, strengthening immunity, and preventing recurrence naturally — without harsh chemicals or steroids.
Symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis
Symptoms may vary depending on the affected area:
Scalp
- Persistent dandruff (white or yellow flakes)
- Itchy, oily scalp
- Redness or mild swelling
- Flakes falling on shoulders
- Increased hair fall during flare-ups
Face
- Flaky skin around eyebrows, nose folds, beard area
- Oily patches with redness
- Irritation that worsens in winter
- White flakes around eyelashes
Body
- Greasy scaling on chest or upper back
- Itchy rashes in skin folds
Seborrheic dermatitis often worsens during stress, seasonal changes, or after using harsh hair/skin products.
Causes of Seborrheic Dermatitis
While the exact cause is not singular, multiple factors contribute:
Biological Causes
- Excessive oil (sebum) production
- Overgrowth of Malassezia fungus
- Sensitive or reactive skin
Internal/Emotional Causes
- Stress and emotional tension
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Reduced immunity
External Causes
- Harsh shampoos or cosmetic products
- Cold, dry weather
- Sweat accumulation in humid environments
Homoeopathy targets internal imbalances and emotional triggers behind oily, flaky skin.

How Seborrheic Dermatitis is Diagnosed at Elegance Clinic
Diagnosis follows the Skin & Allergy Care framework:
- Detailed skin and scalp examination

- Lifestyle, diet, and stress evaluation
- Review of cosmetic/hair product usage
- Identification of fungal, hormonal, or immune triggers

This helps us customise a remedy that matches your skin type and underlying causes.

FAQ
Is seborrheic dermatitis a fungal infection?
Partly. Fungal overgrowth contributes, but oil imbalance and skin sensitivity play major roles.
Can homoeopathy cure seborrheic dermatitis?
Homoeopathy helps significantly reduce symptoms and recurrence by regulating internal triggers.
Does seborrheic dermatitis cause hair fall?
Yes. Scratching and inflammation can weaken hair roots, but regrowth improves once inflammation reduces.
Which homoeopathic remedies help most?
Graphites, Kali Sulph, Sulphur, and Thuja are commonly used — chosen based on individual patterns.
Why does it worsen in winter or stress?
Cold air dries the skin while stress affects immunity and oil regulation, leading to flare-ups.
