چکیده
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common inflammatory disorder of the skin, characterized by erythema covered with greasy-looking scales and seen over areas rich in sebaceous glands-namely, the scalp, face, chest, back and flexural areas. Though much remains to be learned, there is increasing understanding of the etiopathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis. This should eventually lead to more effective management of the disease.
