i was recently diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis on my face and in the past week or so my forehead has become very oily. i've never really had oily skin until now. is this part of seb derm? anything i can do about it?
Does seborrheic dermatitis make the skin oily?
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is inflammation of skin with a high density of sebaceous glands (face, scalp, upper trunk). The cause is unknown, but Pityrosporum ovale, a normal skin organism, plays some role. SD occurs with increased frequency in patients with HIV and in those with certain neurologic diseases. Seborrheic dermatitis causes occasional pruritus, dandruff, and yellow, greasy scaling along the hairline and on the face. Diagnosis is clinical. Treatment is tar or other medicated shampoo and topical corticosteroids and antifungals.
Please see the web pages for more details on Seborrheic dermatitis.
