Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a chronic form of eczema that appears on the body where there are a lot of oil-producing glands (called sebaceous glands) like the upper back, nose and scalp.

The likely cause of seborrheic dermatitis is Malassezia yeast, an organism that normally lives on the skin’s surface. However, certain medical conditions like psoriasis, acne, rosacea, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy etc also increase the risk of developing seborrheic dermatitis. Stress, hormonal changes or illness, harsh detergents, solvents, soaps, cold and dry weather are also common triggers for seborrheic dermatitis.

Though, Seborrhoeic dermatitis is most common in infants but it can affect people of any age. In infants, the condition usually clears on its own and doesn’t come back. In adults, however, seborrheic dermatitis usually follows a pattern of flaring and clearing that can last for years.

Homeopathy works wonderfully well in treating seborrheic dermatitis. These medicines treat both acute and chronic seborrheic dermatitis effectively. Homeopathic medicines reduce the intensity and frequency of flare-up of seborrheic dermatitis. The good part is that these medicines boost the self-healing mechanism of the body, thus making it strong enough to fight seborrheic dermatitis on its own
