This is Seborrheic dermatitis. It is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis can also affect oily areas of the body, such as the face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest. You may need many repeated treatments before the symptoms go away. And they may return later. Its a chronic condition and may require treatment if progressive. Prolonged Seborrhoea can lead to inflammation of the scalp leading to hair loss over a period of time. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
