What to do about male seborrheic alopecia

Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease that often occurs on the scalp and face. Many male friends feel that their scalp is itchy or their face is red and itchy. It may be seborrheic dermatitis. The onset of seborrheic dermatitis is attributed to endocrine disorders, climate change, etc. If seborrheic dermatitis on the head is not taken seriously, it will cause large-scale hair loss in men over a long period of time.

Seborrheic dermatitis is prone to occur in areas where sebum is secreted, most commonly on the head, face, chest and back. The skin lesions initially appear as follicular papules, which gradually expand and merge into dark red or yellow-red spots, covered with greasy scales or crusts, and may show exudation, crusting and erosion, and present an eczema-like appearance. Accompanied by varying degrees of itching. In severe cases, the skin lesions spread all over the body, with diffuse flushing and significant desquamation, which is called seborrheic erythroderma. This disease is chronic and can recur.

Western medicine treatment of seborrheic dermatitis: Take vitamin B2 10 mg each time, 3 times a day; vitamin B6 20 mg each time, 3 times a day; or vitamin B complex 3 tablets each time, 3 times a day. Oral cystine 50 mg each time, 3 times a day;

Patients with obvious itching can take 4 mg of chlorpheniramine 3 times a day. Patients with acute and extensive lesions can take 10 mg of prednisone 3 times a day or 1.5 mg of dexamethasone 3 times a day for 5-7 days. Antibiotics should be used for those with secondary infection.

Since seborrheic alopecia mostly occurs on men's heads, it can easily make the hair oily and cause large-area hair loss. In addition, since the hair follicles are blocked, it is difficult for new hair to regenerate. If not treated in time, the hair loss problem will continue to worsen and expand. Therefore, men with seborrheic alopecia on their heads should always pay attention to the spread of the disease and undergo active targeted treatment to return to youth as soon as possible.
