Do you have greasy flakes on nose and scalp? Dermatologist explains what you are doing wrong
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that manifests in the form of greasy flakes on the nose and scalp. Dr Abigail Waldman shares what to do.
Updated on: May 23, 2026 2:12 PM IST By Debapriya Bhattacharya Share via Copy link Having greasy flakes on the scalp and on various parts of the face, such as the nose and around the beard and eyebrows, is something many of us experience without knowing the underlying cause. Greasy flakes on nose and scalp can be checked with proper treatment. (Pexel) Also Read | Fat loss coach shares the cardio routine that helped her lose weight from 84 to 54 kg sustainably Since flakes are involved, we often assume it's dry skin or dead cells accumulating. However, the greasiness can throw you off. To help us understand the condition and how to treat it, Dr Abigail Waldman, a dermatologist and associate professor at Harvard, posted a video on Instagram on May 3. According to Dr Waldman, the greasy flakes are not dry skin, but a skin condition known as seborrheic dermatitis. Also called seb derm, it is a reaction to the skin’s normal yeast, Malassezia. While the condition is chronic, it can be managed with the right treatment. However, because not everyone is aware of the condition, not everyone follows the right steps. The most common mistakes in treating seb derm at home, according to Dr Waldman, are as follows. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr. Abigail Waldman, MD FAAD (@abby.waldmanmd)1. Not using the right shampoo
When it comes to personal grooming, choosing the right products is vital. While treating a skin condition, that becomes even more important. While washing the head with shampoo is the most common way to deal with flakes, people often struggle to make the right shampoo choice. As Dr Waldman stated, “The first mistake that you're likely making is that you're not using the right type of shampoo. You can't use your regular old moisturising shampoo; it's not going to get that greasy scale off. Instead, you need to use an anti-dandruff shampoo, one with zinc, pyrithione or ketoconazole.”2. Ignoring the face
There is no need to panic about the face needing a milder product and not using the anti-dandruff shampoo on it, even if greasy flakes are present on the face. As the dermatologist shared, “Mistake number two is that you're ignoring your face, and you can use that same shampoo on your face.”3. Not using shampoo properly
Even when one is using an anti-fungal shampoo, it may not be applied properly or left on long enough before rinsing. Explaining the right way to use the product, Dr Waldman shared, “You actually really have to use these shampoos more like a mask. Really scrub it in, and then leave it on for about five minutes. That way, the active ingredient can actually start taking effect and get rid of some of that normal yeast.” “If over-the-counter solutions aren't working, see a dermatologist. There are great prescription options (to treat the condition),” she added. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
