Treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis in Black Patients.

Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common diagnosis in Black patients who seek care from a dermatologist; therefore it is important to have effective treatment approaches for SD in this patient population. In this study, we aimed to evaluate treatment options for SD in Black patients identified on consumer websites and in the medical literature. PubMed and Google searches were conducted to identify medical and nonmedical products and ingredients that commonly are used by Black patients to manage symptoms of SD. Our results indicated that there are many nuances to consider when treating Black patients with SD to prevent health disparities and provide culturally sensitive care.
