Psorizide® ULTRA is the gold standard and only prescription that has no known side effects for the treatment of seborrhea by an oral method.

Seborrheric dermatitis is a chronic, inflamed redness and scaling of the skin. It can involve the scalp and face. When this condition occurs in infants, it is sometimes called cradle cap. In adults, seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp is called dandruff. It is important to understand that seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious.

The skin changes seen in seborrheic dermatitis usually occur on the scalp and the face. The eyebrows, the skin folds from the side of the nose down to the corner of the mouth, and the ear canals are common sites on the face. Symptoms may include: red scalp and face • greasy white scales and sticky crusts • circular plaques with thick scales, particularly on the scalp.

The cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown. The skin of the scalp, and sometimes the face, becomes inflamed and flakes off. Seborrheic dermatitis tends to run in families. Some individuals have an overgrowth of yeast organisms that is linked with this condition. Those with neurologic disorders, immunodeficiency disorders such as HIV, and extended hospital stays can have severe cases of seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp (dandruff) in adults and adolescents is usually treated with a shampoo that contains either salicylic acid, selenium sulfide, coal tar, or pyrithione zinc.

Seborrheic dermatitis of the skin creases in adolescents and adults is usually treated by steroid lotions or creams; steroids can have negative side effects by causing a thinning of the skin if used too frequently or in to great of a dose. A rash can also occur as a result of using topical steroids.

Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp (cradle cap) in babies is typically treated with shampoo or coal tar that is not as strong as those used in adults.

Seborrheic dermatitis of the skin creases in babies is typically treated by using gentle steroid lotions or creams.

All of these typical treatments for seborrheic dermatitis afford little to no relief for seborrheic dermatitis sufferers, but Psorizide® ULTRA offers a unique approach to giving marked relief to seborrhea sufferers.
