Often seborrheic dermatitis is confused with dandruff, especially on the scalp.
To distinguish it from dandruff, check for involvement in other areas of the body (e.g., legs, hands). Prompt diagnosis and treatment lead to quicker results, reduced damage, and higher patient satisfaction.
Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are scalp conditions causing flakes and itching. Dandruff is milder, while seborrheic dermatitis is more severe with redness and inflammation. Both can be managed with medicated shampoos. Antifungal and corticosteroid shampoos are common treatments. Good scalp hygiene and lifestyle changes help. Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence.
