Seborrheic dermatitis
Scalp psoriasis

Seborrheic dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is essentially a more intense or extreme form of dandruff.

It’s a skin disorder that affects areas of the body where sebum – the natural oil produced by your skin cells – is produced, including:

  • the scalp
  • face
  • upper torso

It’s caused by the same factors that cause dandruff, responding with more extreme symptoms of flaky, itchy or redskin.

  • elbows
  • knees
  • navel
  • palms
  • groin
  • scalp
  • face
  • upper torso

Psoriasis has a genetic link, and tends to run in families – about 30% of people with a close relative who has psoriasis develop thecondition.
