Reclaim Clear, Healthy Skin
Effective Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment
at Pyunkang Korean Medicine Hospital
It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that mainly occurs in oily areas
such as the scalp, face, armpits, and upper chest where sebaceous glands are developed.
The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is still unknown, but there are several theories as follows.
This theory suggests that sebum is directly or indirectly involved in the development of the disease. It is supported by the fact that the condition appears in areas with developed sebaceous glands and commonly occurs in newborns and adults when sebaceous activity is high.
Another theory suggests a link to abnormal neurotransmitter activity.
This is because seborrheic dermatitis is more common in patients with
neurological disorders.
Symptoms are known to worsen in low temperature and low humidity
environments, such as during fall and winter or due to central heating.
Some theories consider abnormal epidermal proliferation as the cause.
This is because, like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis shows increased
epidermal proliferation, and symptoms improve with medications that
suppress cell growth.
In infants, there is no difference between sexes, but among adults, it is more common in men and is related to oily skin.
It is characterized by dry or greasy yellow scales on erythematous skin and may be accompanied by itching.
It tends to alternate between improvement and worsening, and may appear either as a localized rash or spread across the body.
When the tonsils become stronger, healthy lymphocytes are released, enhancing phagocytosis to fight off harmful bacteria.
This maximizes the body's immunity and self-healing ability, making it possible to fundamentally treat seborrheic dermatitis.
At Pyunkang Korean Medicine Hospital, we believe that weak lung function—responsible for skin health—leads to poor skin performance,
causing clogged pores and sweat glands. We strengthen lung function with Pyunkang-tang.
According to the Korean medicine principle of "lungs govern the skin and hair," when the lungs (responsible for 95% of respiration) are strengthened,
the skin (responsible for the remaining 5%) also becomes healthier. As pores and sweat glands open and internal heat toxins are released,
various skin conditions, including seborrheic dermatitis, naturally improve.
Promote Smooth Qi and Blood Circulation with Pyunkang-tang
Strengthens the lungs to promote healthy blood circulation throughout the body, increasing the supply of oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and white blood cells to every corner.
Immune Therapy to Boost Immunity
Improved immunity not only helps heal external skin inflammation and wounds, but also enhances nutrient supply to the skin and promotes skin regeneration.
Blood Purification Therapy to Cleanse the Blood
Acidified blood due to poor diet and nutritional imbalance
is purified through dietary correction and consumption of Pyunkang-tang.
The answer to fundamentally curing seborrheic dermatitis lies in the lungs.
The lungs act as a channel that connects the inside and outside of the body, allowing vital energy from nature to flow in and out.
Repeated stress, fatigue, and scalp irritation cause heat to accumulate in the lungs.
As lung function declines, the tonsils—our body’s first line of immune defense—become weakened.
When the tonsils are weakened, harmful bacteria can easily invade the body,
leading to various skin and respiratory diseases.
Therefore, strengthening the lungs and fortifying the tonsils is the key to effective treatment.

Lifestyle Habits That Maximize the Effectiveness of Treatment
Maintain Cleanliness
For seborrheic dermatitis, keeping your hair and skin clean is crucial.
Removing scalp oil and dust helps eliminate aggravating factors.
If the condition is severe, shampooing 5 times a week is recommended;
otherwise, 3 times a week is sufficient. Use shampoo rather than soap.
Avoid Alcohol
Scalp inflammation can cause significant hair loss.
Avoid alcohol and overexertion to manage the condition,
and seek proper treatment when early symptoms like dandruff or itching appear.
Limit Use of Skincare Products and Soap
Avoid using greasy ointments or cosmetics on the face,
and reduce the frequency of soap use.
Refrain from using aftershave lotions that contain alcohol before and after shaving.
It's important to reduce physical fatigue and mental stress.
Avoid Hair Styling Products
Products like mousse, spray, and gel can combine with scalp oil
and irritate the scalp. It's best to avoid using them,
and if used, wash them off as soon as possible with a shower.
Mental and Emotional Stability
Psychological stress and overwork can worsen the condition,
so it’s important to stay calm and relaxed.
