Dandruff
(Seborrheic Dermatitis)

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin rash that affects areas of the skin with higher oil production, such as the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose, behind the ears, and chest. It occurs due to an inflammatory response to a naturally occurring yeast on the skin, which can trigger flaking, itching, and redness.

Dr. Adam Nabatian, a double board-certified dermatologist, offers individualized care for patients whose dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis persists despite over-the-counter remedies. Treatment may include:

• Topical antifungal medications to reduce yeast overgrowth

• Prescription anti-inflammatory therapies, including topical steroids

• Advanced treatment options for refractory or severe cases

Along with medical therapies, Dr. Nabatian provides guidance on daily scalp and skin care routines to help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
