Seborrheic dermatitis is first and foremost a skin condition, but it can also involve temporary hair loss if the dermatitis is located on the scalp or other terminal-haired skin areas. The disease has much to do with the sebaceous glands. This connection is evident by the reason that chronic inflammatory skin disorder is generally confined to areas of the head and trunk where sebaceous glands are most important. The disease occurs as a result of an overproduction of sebum, the oil produced by sebaceous glands. This area is then overridden by yeast causing a chronic infection scaling with the redness. The hair follicles in the vicinity of the inflammatory cells are adversely affected because of the unhealthy environment surrounding them. Thus seborrheic derma

Cures for Telogen Effluvium 2007-06-12 03:39:00 Telogen effluvium is one of the most critical alopecia causes. But it is a poorly defined condition. Because enough research has not been done to understand this major hair disease. This problem creates abnormal hair loss, as there will be alteration of normal hair growth cycle. If the problem is chronic, then other hair bearing areas of the body like eyebrows and pubic hair will get affected. Anyways, one rare thing is that telogen effluvium is fully reversible, because hair follicles are not permanently affected. The causes for Telogen Effluvium are both temporary and persistent. In temporary causes there is hair regrowth after a short period of time. In persistent causes the hair loss continues. The cures for telogen effluvium depend on the causal factors.
