Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin. The kind we talk about here is called seborrhoeic dermatitis. It affects parts of the skin where there are creases, such as around your mouth and nose, or where you have hair, such as your scalp and eyebrows. Seborrhoeic dermatitis that affects your scalp is sometimes a cause of dandruff.
