Sažetak
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory
skin disorder clinically characterized by scaling and poorly defined
erythematous patches. The prevalence of adult seborrheic dermatitis
is estimated at 5%. Although the exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis
has yet to be understood, Malassezia yeasts, hormones (androgens),
sebum levels and immune response are known to play important roles
in its development. Additional factors including drugs, winter temperatures
and stress may exacerbate seborrheic dermatitis. A variety of
treatment modalities are available, including antifungal agents, topical
low-potency steroids and calcineurin inhibitors (immunomodulators).
This review summarizes current knowledge on the etiopathogenesis
and therapy of adult seborrheic dermatitis.
