Exploring the Connection Between Rosacea and Seborrheic Dermatitis
Research by Bass & Boney Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 1999 determined that as many as 35% of patients with rosacea display symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis.
In the summer of 2004, research by the National Rosacea Society verified these facts in a study of their own: “According to a new study, rosacea is the most common facial skin disorder overlapping with seborrheic dermatitis (SD), a chronic and recurring inflammatory condition characterized by a red, scaly or itchy rash often found in the creases around the nose, the inner eyebrows or as dandruff on the scalp. Dr. James Del Rosso, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Nevada, found that 26 percent of rosacea patients had facial SD and 28 percent had SD of the scalp.
In infants seborrheic dermatitis is referred to as cradle cap or infantile eczema.
Rosacea-Ltd can be used on skin that is sensitive to the occurrence of both rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis.
