but seborrheic dermatitis can affect far more than just the scalp. This common skin condition causes red, greasy, scaly patches — and it often affects areas rich in oil-producing glands.
For older adults, seborrheic dermatitis can flare up due to hormonal changes, immune system changes, or even neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease.
Symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis:
Yellowish or white scales on the scalp, eyebrows, or nose
Itching or burning sensations
Crusty buildup around the ears or along the hairline
This condition isn’t caused by poor hygiene, and it’s not contagious. Treatment
