Seborrhoeic Eczema Treatment at Skin Clinic by Dr. Eram Razzaq
Seborrhoeic eczema (seborrheic dermatitis) is a common, chronic, relapsing condition that causes greasy yellow scaling, redness and itch — typically on the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose, ears and central chest. It is linked to overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on naturally oily skin and is aggravated by stress, fatigue and weather changes. At Skin Clinic by Dr. Eram Razzaq, Bahria Town Lahore, our dermatologists confirm the diagnosis and build a tailored plan combining antifungal shampoos (ketoconazole, ciclopirox, selenium sulphide) and short courses of topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors for flares, with gentle skincare and step-down maintenance. Seborrhoeic eczema cannot be cured but is highly controllable with the right regimen.
Consultation is required. To book an appointment at the clinic, call 03041115000.

FAQs
Can seborrhoeic eczema be cured?
No. It is a chronic relapsing condition, but most patients achieve excellent control with consistent treatment.
Is it caused by poor hygiene?
No. It is linked to a normal skin yeast (Malassezia) and the skin's response to it, not to lack of washing.
Are antifungal shampoos safe long-term?
Yes, when used as directed by your dermatologist for intermittent maintenance.
Should I avoid steroid creams on the face?
Potent steroids should not be used long-term on the face. Your dermatologist will prescribe safe alternatives such as calcineurin inhibitors for maintenance.
