Vegetable Oils
In most cases, seborrheic dermatitis is not serious and can be treated at home with over-the-counter medications. However, in some cases, the condition can become severe and may require treatment from a doctor.
Vegetable oil is a common home treatment for seborrheic dermatitis. The fatty acids in vegetable oil helps to dissolve the excess oil that is produced by the sebaceous glands. This can help to reduce the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and prevent the condition from worsening.
To use vegetable oil to treat seborrheic dermatitis, apply a small amount of oil to the affected area and massage it into the skin. Vegetable oil can be applied once or twice daily as needed. Individuals who use vegetable oil to reduce seborrheic dermatitis symptoms should start to see an improvement in their symptoms within a few days. However, if there is no improvement after two weeks, try a different treatment method.
