A member asked:
Can seborrheic dermatitis be genetic? i have used a few different kinds of cream unsuccessful, last resort was protopic, was effective.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sensitive and allergic skin has a strong genetic component. In fact, syndromes exist that are very predictable and often are inherited. Atopic (allergic) syndromes often involve sensitive skin, allergies, and asthma.
