What is 
Seborrhea?

Seborrhea (seborrheic dermatitis) occurs when oil-producing glands become overactive, leading to red, scaly, flaky patches. It most commonly affects the scalp, face, and chest, but can appear anywhere on the body.

It Can Appear On:

Scalp (dandruff or cradle cap)
Eyebrows
Eyelids
Nose and around the nose
Ears
Chest and upper back

Common Triggers

Stress
Weather changes
Hormonal fluctuations
Certain skincare or haircare products
Excess oil production
Immune system changes

While seborrhea is chronic, the right treatment plan can help control flare-ups and keep your skin calm and clear.
