Seborrheic Dermatitis — Which Doctor Should I See?

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition causing itchy, flaky, and inflamed skin, typically on the scalp, face, and upper body. It's caused by yeast and oil buildup.

No, seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious. It's a chronic inflammatory skin condition related to yeast overgrowth and individual skin sensitivity, not an infection you can spread.

Treatment includes antifungal shampoos, medicated creams, topical steroids, and lifestyle changes like reducing stress. Most cases respond well to over-the-counter or prescription medications.
