Question 2

1. can the hair caused by seborrheic dermatitis regrow? how long does it take?  2. what kind of foods that cause seborrheic dermatitis

Accepted Answer

? hair loss: I assume you meant to ask about hair loss from seborrheic dermatitis. Once you control it and stop scratching, the hair will start to grow back. No foods cause this problem.

Question 3

i have been diagnose with seborrheic dermatitis and it has caused hypopigmentataion spots on my face what can i do please help?

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Seborrhea does not cause hypopigmented spots on the  face thus i wonder if your problem is from something else. Unless , of course, you have been scratching the area affected.  On the other hand, another fungal infection called tinea versicolor can cause this problem after it has been treated.  However the problem should resolve with sun exposure.

Question 8

i'm losing a lot of inner hair and the ones at the front and am only 18, i think this is caused by seborrheic dermatitis, is it normal though? and what should i do to prevent/reduce/reverse the effects?

Accepted Answer

: You should have this evaluated by a dermatologist to treat the seborrheic dermatitis and determine how to treat the hair loss, if needed. Once the seborrheic dermatitis is treated, you will be able to monitor to see if the hair returns. The dermatologist can help with this as well. Good luck to you!

Question 9

does seborrheic dermatitis causes severe hair loss and mainly at hairline??

Accepted Answer

No: Seborrheic dermatitis doesn't cause hair loss. Tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection, can often mimic seborrhea, and it does cause hair loss. It requires oral antifungal therapy, usually for a few weeks. There are other less common conditions that can also cause localized hair loss. Talk to a dermatologist if possible.

Question 10

can seborrheic dermatitis cause a positive tissue transglutaminase iga antibody, low level?

Accepted Answer

No: Positive tissue transglutamase IgA antibodies are often seen in celiac disease, but would not be explained by seborrheic dermatitis. At labcorp values up to 3 units/ml are normal and from 4 to 10 are considered weak positives. Celiac disease should be confirmed by biopsy of the intestine.
