Does seborrheic dermatitis cause hair shedding?

May 17, 2017
Asked By:nasolabialundereye in California, CA

Hi I went to see my dermatologist and I was diagnosed with severe sebrrohic dermatitis . My dermatologist said this is the reason for my hair shedding and that this condition has caused me to develope telogen effluvium. I wanted to know does this condition cause hair miniaturization and will the miniaturized hairs come back to healthy hairs once treated. Also I shed somewhere around 100-130 hairs a day. Will this go lower once I treat my sebrrohic dermatitis? Thank you
