Abstract:
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic recurrent erythemato-squamous condition that affects seborrheic areas causing flaking, erythema, and pruritus. Etiology is multifactorial and the role of 〈 i 〉 Malassezia 〈 /i 〉 sp. 〈 i 〉 〈 /i 〉 remains controversial. We present a series of 12 patients with trichoscopic and direct microscopic exams 〈 i 〉 . 〈 /i 〉 We analyzed the presence of the already known SD trichoscopic signs and its correlation to the amount of 〈 i 〉 Malassezia 〈 /i 〉 sp. in the scalp. We describe three novel signs: the “dandelion” vascular conglomerate, the “cherry blossom” vascular pattern, and the intrafollicular oily material; of which the “dandelion” vascular conglomerate was the only trichoscopic sign to correlate with 〈 i 〉 Malassezia 〈 /i 〉 colonization. This study correlates trichoscopic signs in SD and the quantity of 〈 i 〉 Malassezia 〈 /i 〉 sp. We describe three new signs that can be useful to determine indirectly the fungal colonization of the scalp in SD.
