overgrowth of skin yeast causing itching, redness, and scaling

Malassezia Dermatitis, also known as Yeast Dermatitis, is a skin condition caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast, which is normally present on the skin. This overgrowth can lead to symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, and sometimes hair loss. It is commonly seen in both humans and animals, particularly in areas with high oil production, and can be managed with antifungal treatments.
