Stephen,
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of the oil glands which manifests as redness, flaking, burning and occasionally, itching. It often involves the T zone of the face (eyebrows, nose, down to chin area) as well as scalp, ears and torso (chest and mid-back). It can be provoked by stress or lowered immune system and often seen in those with neurological problems such as parkinson's, stroke etc. patients. There is no known cure but palliative treatments consist of mild hydrocortisone creams topically during flare ups (& sparingly), antifungal creams such as Nizoral shamposs & creams, products with sulfur, sulfacetamide, salicylic acid, and oral antibiotics. Rosacea involves oil glands and blood vessels. The oil gland involvement consists of acne while the vascular component consists of flushing and broken blood vessels. There are many triggers and factors involved in rosacea that you have seen posted in this group. Like SD, there is no known cure but many palliative treatments all posted here too.The two conditions are often seen together and I believe they are"cousins".

Can anyone explain the difference between suborrheic dermatitis and rosasea. Some dermatologists have said I have rosacea and others have said I had this and still others I said both. I cannot belive I have both because the complexion started all at once. Thanks. Best regards, Stephen |
