- - This paper explores various procedural treatments for Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD) to provide more options for clinicians and promote further research in the field.
- - Nine studies were analyzed, including treatments like phototherapy and laser therapy, which generally showed high effectiveness and patient satisfaction, although some therapies had limitations like short-term benefits or variable results.
- - The conclusion emphasizes the need for more research to standardize treatment protocols and assess long-term safety, as current options are promising but face challenges such as cost and effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Background: This paper examines alternative procedural interventions for Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD), aiming to offer clinicians more treatment options and encourage further research.
Method: A search was conducted on PubMed using specific search terms related to SD and various dermatological procedures. Studies in English, focusing on SD in human patients, and in-office treatments were included. Data were analyzed for procedure type, effectiveness, and side effects.
Results: Nine studies were reviewed, covering phototherapy, indole-3-acetic acid photodynamic therapy (IAA-PDT), Picosecond Nd:YAG laser, botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections, triamcinolone injections, hair growth factor therapy, and precision cryotherapy. Most showed significant efficacy in small cohorts with high patient satisfaction. Hair growth factor therapy had long-term benefits, while narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy showed relapse within one month. Intense pulsed light with supramolecular salicylic acid, IAA-PDT, and laser therapy reduced sebum output and Malassezia furfur. Triamcinolone injections were effective against SD's immunological aspects. Hair growth factor therapy and precision cryotherapy have been successfully used to treat scalp SD. The role of BoNT in SD is still being explored; however, current evidence does not support its use.
Conclusion: Limited data reveal the need for further research on dermatological procedures for SD. These methods show promise for better patient compliance but face challenges such as cost, variable effectiveness, and unknown long-term safety. Future research should focus on protocol standardization and comprehensive evaluation of long-term outcomes. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(10):819-824. doi:10.36849/JDD.8116.
