TLDR There's a significant link between the severity of Seborrheic Dermatitis and the pattern of hair loss in people with a family history of hair loss.

A retrospective study conducted on 250 patients with Androgenic Alopecia (AGA) in Tehran, Iran, found a significant relationship between the severity of Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD) and the history of hair loss in the family. There was also a significant correlation between the pattern of AGA in men and the severity of SD, and between dandruff symptoms and AGA patterns. The study concluded that due to the relationship between the severity of SD and the AGA pattern, more precise evaluation and follow-up are needed. Eliminating dandruff symptoms can help improve hair loss, and evaluating a person's medical and family history is essential to determine the pattern of hair loss, prevent its progression, and timely treatment.
