October 2024 in “PubMed” The paper reviews nine studies on dermatologic procedures for treating Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD), including phototherapy, indole-3-acetic acid photodynamic therapy, Picosecond Nd:YAG laser, botulinum toxin injections, triamcinolone injections, hair growth factor therapy, and precision cryotherapy. Most procedures showed significant efficacy in small cohorts with high patient satisfaction. Hair growth factor therapy demonstrated long-term benefits, while narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy had a relapse within one month. Some treatments reduced sebum output and Malassezia furfur, and triamcinolone injections addressed SD's immunological aspects. The role of botulinum toxin in SD remains uncertain. The study concludes that while these methods show promise, further research is needed to address challenges like cost, variable effectiveness, and long-term safety, with a focus on standardizing protocols and evaluating long-term outcomes.
