Seborrheic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition. It causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp, face, or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.

The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown. It may be due to a combination of factors:

Stress or fatigue
Weather extremes
Oily skin, or skin problems such as acne
