Disease/Condition Glossary
Seborrheic dermatitis: It is a common skin condition that causes redness and scaly patches on oily areas of the body, such as the scalp, face, back and upper chest. It may also cause stubborn dandruff. It is mostly caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast (a substance normally found in the skin) that triggers inflammation, causing changes in the skin. The treatment includes medicated lotions, shampoos, creams and self-care.
Psoriasis: It is a chronic (long-term) skin condition in which skin cells multiply faster than normal, resulting in white scales, itchy and dry patches on the skin. It is an autoimmune condition in which our body cells mistakenly attack skin cells, causing allergic conditions like scale formation, plaques on the red patches, and red, bumpy, inflamed patches of the skin.
