Abstract
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by erythematous and desquamated plaques in the areas where sebaseous glands are concentrated. Although there are still unknown mechanisms in the pathogenesis, especially a local immune reaction to Malassezia species is thought to be responsible. Besides Demodex species, drugs, ultraviolet, hormones, various environmental and nutritional factors are found to be related to SD. Topical antifungals, topical low potency corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors and in resistant cases oral isotretinoin and itraconazole are preferred in treatment. This review summarizes the currently known data on etiopathogenesis and treatment of SD.
