Don’t Let Seborrheic Dermatitis Leave You Scratching Your Head

Seborrheic dermatitis isn’t just an annoying scalp condition—it’s a skin issue that can pop up where you least expect it.

Characterized by greasy, scaly patches and those intense, persistent itches, seborrheic dermatitis can show up on your scalp, face, chest, and even in body folds. And while it’s incredibly common, that doesn’t make it any less frustrating to manage.

But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.

Decode Your Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis manifests in different ways, depending on where it flares up. Here’s what you might experience:

  • Scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis

    The most common form, where inflamed, flaky patches appear on your scalp, often confused with dandruff, but with more intense redness and irritation.

  • Facial Seborrheic Dermatitis

    Itchy, greasy patches of redness and scaling commonly found around the nose, eyebrows, and forehead. It can often resemble acne or rosacea but requires different care.

  • Chest and Body Seborrheic Dermatitis

    Seborrheic dermatitis can also flare up on your chest or upper back, leading to flaky, oily patches, and in some cases, rashes that become painful when irritated.

Causes & Triggers: What’s Behind the Flake?

  • Overactive Sebum Production

    Seborrheic dermatitis thrives when your skin produces too much oil, providing a breeding ground for yeast that exacerbates the condition.

  • Fungal Overgrowth

    The yeast Malassezia is often linked to seborrheic dermatitis. When this yeast overgrows, it can trigger inflammation, flakiness, and redness.

  • Genetics

    If you have a family history of seborrheic dermatitis, you’re more likely to experience it yourself.

  • Environmental Factors

    Cold weather, hot showers, and certain harsh skin products can dry out your skin and trigger flare-ups.

  • Stress

    Increased stress levels often lead to worsened flare-ups, so take a deep breath—it’s more than just in your head.

Calm, Protect, & Restore–Fast

With the Seborrheic Dermatitis Kit, relief is not only quick, but it’s also effective and gentle. The products in this kit help calm irritation, reduce excessive oil, and restore your skin’s barrier—all without harsh ingredients.

The TrueLipids Advantage

Built on three core scientific principles to address the unique needs of seborrheic dermatitis-prone skin:

#1: pH Balance

Seborrheic dermatitis thrives when the skin’s pH is out of whack. TrueLipids helps restore the ideal acidic pH range (4.6 - 5.6), which is essential for skin’s health and comfort.

#2: Lipid Replacement

Seborrheic dermatitis can impair your skin’s ability to retain moisture. Our formulations deliver the right balance of ceramides and lipids to keep your skin hydrated and protected.

#3: Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients

We use ß-glycyrrhetinic acid (licorice-derived) and niacinamide, which are proven to reduce inflammation and calm irritation, giving your skin the relief it needs.

Why Your Sensitive Skin Needs More TLC

When it comes to seborrheic dermatitis, many treatments can worsen sensitive skin.

That’s why at CLMD, we focus on soothing, hydrating, and restoring—without irritating your skin.

Our products are free from unnecessary chemicals and fragrances, making them perfect for sensitive skin that needs a gentle touch.

Prescription Treatments

(When needed)

Our Seborrheic Dermatitis Kit is highly effective for managing mild to moderate flare-ups, but severe cases may require additional prescription treatments. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your dermatologist for advice.

Our products can still complement prescription therapies, helping to manage symptoms while you work with your doctor to develop a complete treatment plan.

Can diet affect seborrheic dermatitis?

Diet can play a role, though it’s not the primary cause. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding foods that trigger inflammation can support your skin’s health.

What is seborrheic dermatitis and what causes it?

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes red, scaly patches, often on the scalp, face, chest, or back. It’s thought to be caused by an overproduction of sebum (skin oil) and the overgrowth of a yeast called Malassezia. Genetics, stress, weather changes, and certain skin care products can also contribute to flare-ups.

How do I know if I have seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff?

While dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis share similar symptoms like flakes on the scalp, seborrheic dermatitis often involves more irritation, redness, and greasy, yellowish scales. It can also affect other areas like the face and chest. If your symptoms seem persistent or worsen, it’s best to consult a dermatologist.

Can seborrheic dermatitis affect other parts of the body besides the scalp?

Yes, seborrheic dermatitis can appear on any area of the skin with a high concentration of sebaceous (oil) glands. This includes areas like the face (around the nose, eyebrows, and ears), chest, upper back, and even underarm folds. In infants, it’s commonly seen as cradle cap.

Can seborrheic dermatitis be cured?

Currently, there is no cure for seborrheic dermatitis, but it can be effectively managed with consistent treatment. Most people find relief through a combination of skincare products, lifestyle changes, and, when necessary, prescription treatments.

Is seborrheic dermatitis contagious?

No, seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious. It is caused by a combination of factors, including an overproduction of sebum and yeast, neither of which are spread through contact with others.

Does seborrheic dermatitis cause permanent scarring?

In most cases, seborrheic dermatitis does not cause permanent scarring. However, severe flare-ups or scratching can lead to skin damage. Proper treatment and avoiding irritation can help prevent scarring.
