Appearance
Seborrhoea may occur anywhere on facial skin, behind the ears and in areas where the skin folds
Can appear near the eyelashes, on the forehead, or around the sides of the nose
In adolescents and adults, seborrhoea can take the form of scalp scaling (dandruff) or as mild to
extreme redness of the skin folds running down either side of the face from the corners of the nose to the mouth (commonly known as “smile lines”)
Other body areas where symptoms occur are the chest and upper back
Symptoms
Some affected areas become red and flaky
Commonly, patients experience mild redness, skin lesions and in some cases hair loss
Other symptoms include patchy scaling or thick crusts on the scalp, red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales, itching, soreness and yellow or white scales that may attach to the hair shaft.
Many patients experience alternating periods of the symptoms, when they either improve or suddenly worsen. In adults, symptoms may last from few weeks to even years
