Scalp inflammation, including seborrhoeic dermatitis, can cause itchy, flaky, and irritated skin on the scalp. If left untreated, it may lead to redness, discomfort, and excessive scaling. At Murrays Chemist in Harrow, we offer a range of scalp inflammation treatments, helping you find relief and manage symptoms effectively.
What is Scalp Dermatitis?
Scalp dermatitis refers to irritated, inflamed skin on the scalp. One of the most common types is seborrhoeic dermatitis, which is often linked to a yeast overgrowth on the skin.
Symptoms of scalp dermatitis may include:
- Flaky, dry skin (similar to dandruff)
- Itchy, irritated scalp
- Red, scaly patches
- Yellowish or brown crusting on affected areas
- Spreading of symptoms to the face, chest, armpits, or groin
Scalp inflammation may also be triggered by allergic reactions, harsh hair products, or skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
