Overview Seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp. What is seborrheic dermatitis? Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, noncontagious, easy-to-manage skin condition. This type of “Seborrheic” refers to the “sebaceous” glands while “derm” means “skin.” It’s called “dandruff” ( pityriasis capitis) when it’s on a teenager’s or adult’s scalp, and “ Seborrheic dermatitis can occur in other areas of your body. These are areas with the most sebaceous (oil) gland activity: your upper back and chest, face/forehead, the creases at the base of your nose, behind your ears, navel (belly button), eyebrows, under your breasts and in the creases/bends of your arms, legs and groin. Seborrheic dermatitis is a lifelong condition that appears, disappears with treatment, and flares up from time to time. Who gets seborrheic dermatitis? About 11% of the population has seborrheic dermatitis. It occurs most often in infants younger than three months old and in adults ages 30 to 60. It is more common in men than in women, and in Caucasians more than African Americans. If you are born with naturally oily skin, you are more likely to get this type of dermatitis. A history of psoriasis in your family makes you vulnerable as well. If you live in a dry, cold region, the weather doesn’t cause the seborrheic dermatitis, but it does make it worse. If you have these health issues, you’re more prone to seborrheic dermatitis: Immunosuppressions: • Organ transplant recipients. • • • Psychiatric disorders: • Neurologica...

Dry scalp is a common scalp condition characterized by itchy, flaky skin that can cause embarrassing dandruff flakes. But what does dry scalp look like under a microscope? When viewed under a microscope, dry scalp appears as white flakes or scales on the scalp. These flakes are a buildup of dead skin cells that the scalp sheds as new skin cells form. In addition, people with dry scalp may have fewer oil-producing glands or oil glands that are not producing enough oil to keep the skin moisturized. Reduced oil levels can cause dry, flaky skin that becomes irritated and itchy. Furthermore, dry scalp can also be caused by external factors such as cold weather, harsh shampoos, hot showers, and overuse of hair styling products. To effectively treat dry scalp, it’s important to use a gentle, moisturizing shampoo and...

• • A novel diagnosis for Demodex using only a biomicroscope and forceps is presented. • • Removing the collarette and drawing eyelash to the side reveals highest mite numbers. • • Videos featuring mite tails at the eyelash follicle in situ are presented. • • The technique is rapid, simple and painless and thus convenient to patients and practitioners. • • Method may be easily incorporated into standard clinical examination routine. Methods Fifteen participants with a prior Demodex blepharitis diagnosis or featuring typical cylindrical dandruff (CD) collarettes, and seven healthy controls were enrolled. Demodex presence was assessed using five techniques, applied consecutively, on a minimum of two different eyelashes on each eyelid of every participant, for each test, in situ: 1. using fine-point forceps and 25-40x biomicroscopy magnification, by eyelash rotation as proposed by Mastrota (ROT); 2. by removing cylindrical dandruff and exposing the eyelash insertion point at the lid margin (CDR); and 3. by laterally tensioning the eyelash (LET) following CDR. The typical appearance of cigar-shaped mite tails protruding from each assessed eyelash follicle was observed, and mite tails counted and averaged per participant for each assessment technique. 4. Lash epilation, and mite presence evaluated using bright-field microscopy at 10-40x magnification (EPI). 5. Finally, eyelash follicles were imaged using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) and the images visually inspected for m...
