Hi,
It is seborrheic dermatitis..you are right.
There is greasy scales on scalp and hair loss.
Exact cause is not known.
There are many factors which can precipitate SD.
stress,anxiety,sun rays, sleeplessness, poor hygiene,poor immunity,any internal disease..etc
Certain yeast may be responsible for SD..like melassezia furfur
Some time, it may be associated with HIV,Parkinson's disease,stroke..etc
Antifungal shampoo and anti fungal lotion containing mild steroid might improve the disease.
Antifungal tablets with steroid tablets in tappering dose might cure the disease, but the relapse may occur.
Avoid stress.
Have patience.
You may consult dermatologist.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
