Does Anyone Know Why SD Causes Hair To Weaken, Thin, Or Fall Out (aside From Scratching)? If SD Improves Will These Hair Issues Get Better?
Hmmm I can't seem to open the hair loss article. Any clues?
Thanks for the reply and perspective. I now see others asked the same or very similar question about SD and hair concerns. After I searched a bit more I found the attached resource which might have be helpful. Unfortunately, it is no longer available, but I will continue to learn a lot from the experiences people share here.
Hi Jason, for me, I lost about 1/2 my hair over the years, not all at once. I still have sebderm, but I think that my hair loss is minimal. Some people have said that their hair has grown back after the sebderm clears up. That's not my situation. I have also heard that sebderm never really goes away. Mine hasn't, but it does get better sometimes. When I stress out over something, it pops up again. I have never been without it completely.
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) can lead to hair weakening, thinning, or falling out due to several factors:
- Inflammation: The inflammation associated with SD can damage hair follicles, leading to hair loss
- Scaling and Flaking: The buildup of scales and flakes can block hair follicles, affecting hair growth.

I am happy to report the article/resource called Seborrheic Dermatitis Hair Loss was reposted on 3/1. It can now be viewed. Thanks to everyone involved.
