In front of my face
Behind the leg or on the other side
I developed itching during the summer.
Could this also be a type of seborrheic dermatitis...
It's best to apply lightweight cosmetics during the summer.

Seborrheic dermatitis can initially present symptoms similar to acne or heat rash, so caution is needed to avoid misdiagnosis.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that occurs in areas with high sebum production, such as the scalp and face. The main symptoms include scaling on top of erythema and may be accompanied by itching. If the symptoms are severe, oozing or thick scabs can form, and secondary bacterial infection may occur, leading to foul odor.
And if seborrheic dermatitis appears on the scalp, washing your hair multiple times because the scales look like dandruff may not significantly help alleviate the symptoms and could even lead to hair loss, so caution is advised.
Additionally, seborrheic dermatitis initially resembles acne in symptoms and appearance, so neglecting seborrheic dermatitis or attempting to extract comedones at home often worsens skin damage and exacerbates the condition.
Unlike acne, seborrheic dermatitis is accompanied by itching, warmth, and pain.
Seborrheic dermatitis is caused by excessive sebum secretion, hyperproliferation of the epidermis, immune system impairment, and stress. There are treatment methods that temporarily suppress sebum secretion or inflammation, which can show short-term effects, but there is a high risk of recurrence.
To prevent seborrheic dermatitis, improving lifestyle habits is important. Reducing the use of greasy ointments or cosmetics can be helpful, and for men, it is advisable not to use alcohol-based shaving lotions before and after shaving.
Additionally, it is good to avoid drying out the skin with excessive washing. Moisturizers that are high in oil content can stimulate sebum production, so water-based products are recommended.
