Seborrheic Dermatitis is an acute skin disease and is commonly known amongst people as Dandruff or Dermatitis. This condition arises due to the overactive sebaceous glands, which produces oil in more than the required quantity. The skin becomes dry and due to inflammation turns red.
Yellow greasy scales can be found all over the scalp. Forehead, eyelashes, eyebrows, eyelids, nose are the areas affected by this problem. Some people even tend to develop acne on their face because of dandruff. Cradle crap refers to the condition in infants. This disease cannot be fully cured, but can be treated to reduce its side-effects. A few natural remedies that can work for you are listed below.

Aspirin

You can then wash your hair again with plain shampoo. Use a mild shampoo in order to avoid dry hair.
Baking Soda
