SEBO-RELIEF
The phenomenon of scaly, itchy and reddish skin is a disorder particularly affecting the sebaceous
gland rich areas of the face, the scalp and other areas. This condition may appear at any age after
puberty in various degrees of severity and affects 3-5% of the population.
Lesions are common in the eyebrows, on the edges of the eyelids, behind the ears and both sides
of the nose. It can also result in pale pink patches on the hairline.
The condition is often aggravated by psychological stress, fatigue, change of season (in winter and
early spring), illness and poor general health.
The condition of scaly, itchy and reddish skin is believed to be a reaction related to the presence
of a yeast called “Malassezia” which is a normal skin inhabitant. The organism is probably not the
direct cause of this condition but a cofactor linked to increased sebum levels and other factors.
In normally-functioning skin, the yeast causes no reaction but in individuals with reduced resistance,
the epidermis responds unfavorably to the yeast, it becomes reddish scaly. The pink flat patches
with the loose scales may or may not be itchy and can change from day to day.
There is no way to prevent this condition completely, however, it can
be controlled quickly with appropriate treatment.
