seborrhoea

Seborrhoea is the name for the condition of greasy skin caused by excess sebum.

Salicylic acid has a mild effect on seborrhoea.

These drugs have keratolytic and antiseptic properties which may benefit seborrhoea.

Clotrimazole is also used in treating seborrhoea.

This causes the sebaceous glands to subsequently overproduce oil, a condition known as reactive seborrhoea, which will lead to clogged pores.

The doctor's notes on the obverse of Walter's case sheet (Army Form W.3162) record his progress under treatment: Chronic condition - Seborrhoea scalp.

SAHA syndrome is characterized by seborrhoea, acne, hirsutism and alopecia, and was first described in 1982, frequently associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, cystic mastitis, obesity and infertility.
