Those flakes appearing on your shoulders are sometimes the medical result (depending on the nature of the condition) of a skin condition known as seborrheic dermatitis, which is a type of eczema of the face and scalp. It results in red, itchy skin but is best recognized by the scaly flakes of skin that tend to fall from the scalp and out of the hair--the stuff we recognize as dandruff. The condition affects the sebum glands, resulting in dried out skin.

Several herbal remedies and natural treatments can help prevent seborrheic dermatitis, reduce flaking, and minimize scalp irritation. Check out our natural seb derm shampoos and other home remedies below!

In infants Seborrheic Dermatitis is known as cradle cap. Check out Earth Clinic's Cradle Cap remedies here.
