Seborrhoea

Seborrhoea is characterized by a very greasy scalp and greasy hair. Seborrhoea has also been linked with hirsutism (excessive facial and body hair). The condition can quite effectively be controlled with specially formulated shampoos.

Seborrhoea is characterized by abnormal secretions of the sebaceous glands and can be controlled with medicated shampoo.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis is more serious. It is a form of chronic eczema resembling psoriasis and is characterized by large, greasy yellow scales.

It is not known what causes Seborrhoea. Seborrhoeic dermatitis can be treated with corticosteroid lotions and antifungal shampoos.
