Seborrheic eczema is a chronic eczema occurring in young children and adults aged 30-60 years. Seborrheic eczema is easily recognizable by flaky/scaly eczema that is yellow or white with red skin underneath. Seborrheic eczema occurs in areas with a lot of sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, nose, face, armpits or groin, but can also occur in skin folds.
No one is quite sure why seborrheic dermatitis occurs. It may be related to a fungal infection of the skin and genetic or environmental factors are also suspected to be involved.
The usual treatment for any reason is topical treatment with antifungal and anti-inflammatory creams. Shampoo with charcoal tar and light treatment can also help.
