Scalp seborrhea - causes

Excessive sebum production promotes exfoliation and skin irritation. The hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands is caused by hormonal disorders (the cause may also be: a diet rich in animal fats and carbohydrates, stress, chronic constipation).
According to many authors, one of the causative agents of seborrheic dermatitis, like dandruff, is excessive colonization of Malassezia spp.
