Seborrhea
Seborrhea involves oily skin and reaction to Malassezia yeasts; nutrition may influence it indirectly, but local skin care is central.
Seborrhea is a skin condition with increased oiliness, scaling and tendency to inflammation in areas rich in sebaceous glands. Scalp, face, eyebrows, nose area, ears and chest are often affected.
Skin reaction to Malassezia yeasts, sebum composition, genetics, stress, cold season, immune status and some neurological diseases play a role.
How It Appears
Oily or dry scales, itching, redness, dandruff and irritation after harsh care may appear. Symptoms may calm down and then return.
Diet And Keto
Keto is not a treatment for seborrhea. Some people notice skin changes with excess alcohol, sugar, ultra-processed foods or low protein and micronutrients, but there is no universal seborrhea diet.
What Helps
Antifungal shampoos and creams, gentle cleansing, avoiding irritants and treating inflammation when prescribed are commonly used. Overly aggressive degreasing often worsens the skin barrier.
When To See A Doctor
Severe inflammation, oozing, hair loss, cracks, no response to care or involvement in infants and immunodeficient people require dermatology assessment.
How To Care Without Extremes
Seborrheic skin does not tolerate extremes well: harsh soap, alcohol solutions and constant scraping increase irritation. Gentle cleansing, regular antifungal use and barrier support work better, especially in winter.
If scaling suddenly worsens after a new product, irritation or contact dermatitis may be present rather than worsening seborrhea itself.
