Seborrheic dermatitis is a medical inflammatory skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and body.
Normally, seborrheic dermatitis begins with a flaky, itchy, scaly, and red skin.
It especially involves the sebaceous-gland-rich areas of skin.
In older children and adults, seborrheic dermatitis normally manifests as scalp scaling similar to dandruff or as mild to marked redness of the facial smile line fold.
It can happen with or without reddened skin.
Cradle cap is used when seborrheic dermatitis involves the scalp of infants
The exact reason for seborrheic dermatitis is not known.
Doctors think it may be due to a combination of:
1. Hormone levels,
2. Weakened immune system,
3. Lack of certain nutrients,
