6 Ways to Treat Seborrheic Dermatitis
2
Have you noticed any red, itchy, and scaly rashes
on your scalp? If yes, then there are high
chances that you may have seborrheic
dermatitis. If ignored or not treated promptly,
the patches from seborrheic dermatitis may grow
more prominent, causing uncontrollable itching.
As you pick or scratch at the affected areas, the
infection spreads to the internal layers of your
scalp skin, resulting in severe hair loss
eventually. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic
inflammatory dermatologic condition that usually
appears on areas of the body with a large density
of sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, face,
chest, back, axilla, and groin. Professionals
conduct Seborrheic dermatitis clinical trials to
find the best treatment to control it.

Tea Tree Oil

• Mix eight to twelve drops of tea tree oil in a
  carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil.
  Apply this mixture to the affected area. This may
  relieve you from itching while healing the scaly
  patches on your scalp or skin.

Ayurvedic Therapies

• You can regularly undergo Ayurvedic panchakarma
  therapies such as Abhyangam, Virechan, Murdha
  thailam, Nasyam, and dosha-specific herbal
  formulations to heal seborrheic dermatitis. Hot
  oil treatment with Marichyadi thailam is also one
  of the most effective Ayurvedic therapy to treat
  seborrheic dermatitis, which needs to be
  administered after examining your body's doshic
  predominance.

Aloe Vera

• Apply freshly extracted aloe vera gel to the
  affected area and leave it on. Aloe vera is well
  known for its natural anti-inflammatory
  properties and works well in treating seborrheic
  dermatitis.

Other Medications

• Conventional allopathic treatments for seborrheic
  dermatitis are usually effective if it is a mild
  case. Antifungal creams and medicated shampoos
  that contain chemicals such as selenium sulfide,
  zinc pyrithione, coal tar, ketoconazole, etc.,
  are often prescribed by doctors to treat
  seborrheic dermatitis. In chronic seborrheic
  dermatitis, doctors may prescribe corticosteroids
  for oral ingestion, which significantly helps
  calm skin inflammation.

Ayurvedic Diet

• Include foods that control the vitiation of Vata
  and Kapha doshas in your diet to reduce
  seborrheic dermatitis. Foods that taste bitter
  such as bitter gourd work best to control
  seborrheic dermatitis. You should Intake foods
  rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, bell
  peppers, and plenty of leafy greens and almonds
  regularly. You also need to avoid foods that are
  excessively salty or sour, dairy, and cold items.
