Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a skin condition often referred to as splenic eczema. It usually manifests itself on the scalp but also on the face and body through itching, redness and oily scaling. It is a form of fungus that often occurs where there are lots of sebaceous glands (such as the scalp, above the breastbone, in the armpits and groin). The cause is said to be hereditary.
Young children can get a type of eczema called cradle cap. It looks like oily, slightly yellowish scales on the scalp and eyebrows.

Relieve with natural skin care
Skincare from MARIA ÅKERBERG is ideal for strengthening the skin and relieving symptoms. The products keep the skin supple, soft and moisturised to prevent ulcers from forming during flare-ups.
A daily skin care routine with products selected for you creates good conditions for strengthening and caring for the skin - whether you have a skin condition that is treated with medication or not. This is what MARIA ÅKERBERG strives for.
Our products contain only natural ingredients that work with the skin instead of working against its natural functions. The natural ingredients are easily absorbed by the skin and affect the underlying tissue. We aim to strengthen the skin in a long-term and natural way instead of just easing the problems for the moment.
