Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by red, flaky, and greasy patches, primarily affecting areas rich in oil glands, such as the scalp, face, and upper back. It can cause dandruff when it occurs on the scalp and may lead to discomfort or itching. The exact cause is not fully understood, but factors like genetics, stress, and the presence of a yeast called Malassezia can contribute to its development. Treatment typically includes medicated shampoos, topical antifungal creams, and anti-inflammatory medications.
