A member asked:

I am suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, so is shaving head help in treating it or not??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: It might be easier to apply topical treatments to the scalp if there isn't hair, but shaving your head won't make the seborrheic dermatitis any better.
