By Ida Dorsey


They say that prevention is better than cure. This holds true especially for skin diseases that attacks on visible parts of the body. Women especially who suffer from this ailment report how inconvenient it is to work or walk outside knowing that visible marks are visible on the face.

One of these skin problems that has grabbed the attention of our dermatologists is the seborrhea. Up until today, attempts to imporove the way on how it is treated are developed. Seborrheic dermatitis skin care is the product of years of research and testings among the affected people.

Symptoms of this problem include the feeling of itchiness in the affected area of the body, the greasy feel when you touch it, and the visible red marks. Areas of the body where it commonly appears include the face, torso and scalp. This is especially uncomfortable for women with long hair and whose scalp is affected. The itch will make them scratch their heads more often.

There is no definite cause of this issue. However, scientists theorize that a bad immune system can encourage its development. At present, the study continues in pin pointing the exact cause. It is hoped that once the cause is determined, it will be easier to administer the bulls eye treatment.

It is important to immediately treat this disease because aside from the uncomfortable feeling that it can give you, it can also be dangerous. Remember that the cause is not yet known. But if it is indeed true that a weak immune system is a triggering factor, then you should be worried. This makes you susceptible to even more disease if that is the case.

At present, three ways of curing the disease is widely recognized. First way is to employ the topical immunomodulators. From the word itself, it modulates your immune system. Meaning, it makes certain changes to adapt to your present condition. One thing that it does is the reduction of the material called sebum, which is responsible for the oily portions we see on our face. Seborrhea usually exists to oily parts of the body so it could follow that reducing the oil, will also reduce the emergence of the problem.

One other type of treatment is the usage of creams. These materials are best known to reduce inflammation on the affected part. It might not be the total cure that you could expect but at least it can remedy the annoying itch that you feel. Then we have the usage of anti fungal substances which should only be used under the prescription of a doctor. Not all of these things are good for the skin so make sure you consult the experts.

With all of these things in mind, dermatologists are keen in suggesting people not to use all types of skin care products you think is good. What you think will do great on your skin might actually be putting it to more harm. A lot of problems that are reported to dermatological clinics are actually products of careless skin care usage.

You will never know when disease will strike. So whatever the condition is, it is best that you strengthen your immune system. Diseases come in the instant you let your guard down. Be mindful. Also, observing a healthy lifestyle can help drive away harmful that bacteria that tries to get in your system. So if you constantly enjoy cigarettes and alcohol, you may want to consider a change in lifestyle now.
