In Pictures: Seborrheic Dermatitis Symptoms

** Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis have similar symptoms. However, it’s important to know the difference so you can choose the right shampoo to treat it. **

Seborrheic dermatitis is often mistaken for dandruff as they both share similar symptoms, including:

• flakes

• itching

• redness

While similar, seborrheic dermatitis is much more severe. The following symptoms can be expected:

1. Severe flakes

2. White/yellowish scales that are oiler than dandruff flakes

3. Red, inflamed areas on the scalp
