SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS AND SCALP HEALTH

If you suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, it’s important to keep your scalp in good condition as part of your treatment.

It’s caused by the same factors as dandruff:

  • A naturally occurring microbe, Malassezia globosa

  • Scalp oils, known as sebum

  • A scalp that’s sensitive to oleic acid

SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS AND SCALP HEALTH

Keep your scalp healthy
Seborrheic dermatitis damages the scalps outer layer of skin, so you need to keep your scalp healthy to help repair the damage.
