A new research study of nearly 5500 individuals places seborrheic dermatitis at the top of the list as one of the most common inflammatory conditions. 


Seborrhoeic dermatitis was reported in 14.3% of the study population particularly in middle-aged and elderly individuals, especially during winter. Men, and people with a light and dry skin were most likely to have seborrhoeic dermatitis.
