Is there a connection between acne and seborrheic dermatitis?
The connection between these two skin conditions is the oil on your skin also known as sebum. Sebum lubricates and protects the hair and skin and prevents drying and irritation of membranes. Sebum may collect excessively as a result of a diet rich in fats, or accelerated glandular activity, especially during adolescence. Excessive secretions of sebum may be related to acne, certain forms of baldness, and other skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis.
