Disease description:
I am a 35-year-old male who was previously diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis during a hospital examination. Recently, I suddenly noticed a clearly defined area of hair loss on my scalp, which has caused me great concern. I wonder whether this hair loss is related to seborrheic dermatitis and how it should be treated?

Dr. Liu Wenmin
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition, typically characterized by redness, scaling, and itching on the scalp, face, and other areas with excessive oil production. In severe cases, seborrheic dermatitis may affect the health of hair follicles, preventing normal hair growth and leading to hair loss.
This sudden hair loss suggests that the patient should seek medical attention promptly. Treatment should focus on actively managing the seborrheic dermatitis itself, such as using appropriate medications to control inflammation and oil production.
In addition, maintaining good lifestyle habits, reducing stress, and avoiding chemicals that may irritate the scalp can also help improve hair loss. Furthermore, it is important to avoid staying up late, overexertion, and consuming excessive fatty foods.
