TLDR Seborrheic dermatitis is influenced by diet, genetics, and psychological factors.
The "SnapshotDx Quiz: April 2019" article focused on seborrheic dermatitis (SD), highlighting its prevalence, diagnostic methods, and the influence of diet and genetics. It noted that the Western diet negatively impacted acne and hidradenitis suppurativa but not SD, although a study found higher SD odds in females following this diet. Various studies were discussed, including one with 18 patients who responded well to treatment, and another with 788 participants showing no link between anxiety, depression, and SD, though a smaller study with 117 subjects found higher anxiety in SD patients. The article emphasized the complexity of SD's relationship with diet, genetics, and psychological factors.
