It makes sense to want to see more photos — seborrheic dermatitis can look surprisingly different from person to person, so it's easy to feel like your symptoms don't quite match what you've seen!
Symptoms can vary widely and may include:
- Flaking or dandruff on the scalp, eyebrows, or facial hair
- Greasy or scaly patches that are white, yellow, or discolored
- Redness or rashes in skin folds
- Burning or itching sensations
- Inflamed hair follicles on the chest or cheeks
- Petal-shaped flaky patches along the hairline
Some people have dry, flaky skin while others have oily, greasy patches — and some experience itching without any visible flaking at all. DermNet is a great free resource with a wide range of real photos of seborrheic dermatitis across different skin tones and body areas. It can be really helpful for comparing what you're seeing on your own skin.
Bringing photos of your own symptoms to a dermatologist appointment is also a great idea — it helps them see how your skin changes over time and can lead to a more accurate assessment.
