Overview

 

Seborrhoeic eczema has little or nothing to do with sebum (the oily secretion of the sweat glands), so the name is a poor one. The name persists partly because some of the areas affected (eg the groins and armpits) are also where there are greater concentrations of sweat glands within the skin.

It is a well recognised pattern of eczema affecting all age groups from young adults to the elderly. A type of seborrhoeic eczema is also seen in babies during the first year of life.




Causes

 

Skin infection by yeast called Pityrosporum is thought to play a part in seborrhoeic eczema. Anti-yeast treatment can therefore be effective, although it usually needs to be repeated periodically.

 



Symptoms

 

Four common patterns are seen.

  1. Scalp and face: skin is greasy, red and scaly. Affects the central face and forehead, the sides of the nose down to the outer ends of the mouth, the edges of the scalp, eyebrows and behind the ears. The scalp is very scaly (dandruff).
  2. Front of chest: a red scaly patch over the breast bone.
  3. Back of trunk: multiple red raised dots across and between the backs of the shoulder blades.
  4. Skin folds: a moist red skin reaction in the groins, under the breasts and in the armpits. In childhood seborrhoeic eczema the skin folds are most affected, but there can be a yellowish scaly crust on the scalp, too (known as cradle cap).
The condition varies in severity. A mild case would be a little bit of dandruff and flaky skin over the face. In severe cases, the skin is widely affected and very itchy; the scalp is itchy, oily and, if very inflamed, there is much scaling of the scalp skin.
