Background:

  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin condition affecting sebum-rich areas.
  • Malassezia yeasts are implicated in SD aetiology, supported by antifungal treatment efficacy.
  • The exact cause of SD remains unclear, with theories involving immune response to Malassezia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical trial data on available treatment options for seborrhoeic dermatitis.
  • To assess the efficacy of various antifungal agents in managing SD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical trial data.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on antifungal treatments for seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Main Results:

  • Antifungal agents demonstrate efficacy in treating seborrhoeic dermatitis.
