Itchiness from seborrheic dermatitis can indeed worsen at night. Here are some reasons and tips based on my knowledge base:

Reasons for Increased Itchiness at Night:
- Stress and Fatigue: The stress and fatigue accumulated throughout the day can exacerbate symptoms.
- Body Temperature: Your body temperature naturally rises at night, which can increase itching.
- Sweating: Night sweats can aggravate seborrheic dermatitis symptoms.
- Lack of Distractions: At night, there are fewer distractions, making you more aware of the itchiness.

Tips to Manage Nighttime Itchiness:
1. Maintain a Cool and Comfortable Bedroom:
- Keep the room cool and wear breathable, loose clothing to bed.
- Use a fan to circulate air and avoid heavy blankets or irritating fabrics.

2. Follow Your Skin Treatment Routine:
- Stick to your recommended treatment plan and skin care routine to manage flare-ups.

3. Manage Stress:
- Practice relaxation techniques like mindfulness meditation to reduce stress.

4. Avoid Triggers:
- Identify and avoid any triggers that may worsen your symptoms, such as certain hair products or detergents with added fragrances.

By following these tips, you can help reduce nighttime itchiness and improve your sleep quality.
