Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a type of dermatitis that affects the scalp that is probably caused by a yeast infection. Murrays Chemist in Harrow will help you work out the cause of dermatitis and the best cause of scalp inflammation treatment for you.
What is dermatitis?
Dermatitis is any irritated skin. This can be from household cleaning products or an allergic response to jewellery, for example. For dermatitis on the scalp, it is often a yeast that creates the irritation.
Scalp inflammation dermatitis can be mild with dry or flaky skin similar to dandruff. But it can also lead to red, scaly skin with yellow/brown crusting.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis can also affect the face, chest, armpits and groin.
