Understanding Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes scaly patches, red skin, and stubborn dandruff. While it can be persistent, there are many effective ways to manage the symptoms and improve your skin health.

What You Might Experience

Living with seborrheic dermatitis can present various challenges:

Scaly patches on the scalp, face, and other areas
Red, inflamed skin in affected areas
Stubborn dandruff that doesn't improve with regular shampoo
Itching and burning sensations
Oily or dry skin in affected areas

Embarrassment about visible patches

How Homoeopathy Can Help

Homoeopathy views seborrheic dermatitis as a symptom that reflects your unique constitutional state and response to various factors. We look at your specific symptoms, what makes them better or worse, and your overall health picture.

During a consultation, we explore your complete health story, including your skin sensitivity, stress levels, and how seborrheic dermatitis affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your symptoms and support your body's natural skin healing processes.
