What Is Eczema on the Scalp?
Itchy, irritated, and red skin that causes dandruff to form on the scalp is known as scalp eczema. There are different types of eczema that a person can be exposed to, but the most common type of scalp eczema is seborrheic dermatitis. Therefore, it is important to be diagnosed by a specialist for your condition before deciding on a treatment.
Symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis:
Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of scalp eczema that causes skin spots on the scalp. Below are listed other symptoms of the condition:
- Red and itchy skin

Can People Who Has Seborrheic Dermatitis Have Hair Transplantation?
Although this situation is not certain, there are opinions that the same problem may also damage the planted roots.
As a result, if the cause of hair loss in a person with seborrheic dermatitis is eczema, transplantation should be done at the end of the treatment, that is, after the disease has healed. If the reason for shedding is familial although there is seborrheic dermatitis, then there is no harm in doing hair transplantation. However, dermotto lotion should be used for about 1 week before planting for tissue relief and partial improvement. In this way, when planting is done while there is seborrhea, the use of a seborrheic dermatitis drug that does not contain cortisone, such as dermotto, should be started immediately after the first bath after planting. Post-transplantation lotions with cortisone are not recommended due to the side effects of cortisones. Like hair transplantation, beard transplantation should be done after seborrheic dermatitis in the beard area is treated. If the transplantation is done without treatment, the problem on the skin may grow.
