Key Points

This research aims to explore the psychosocial complaints among individuals with seborrheic dermatitis and their relationship with disease severity and characteristics.
200 participants including 100 patients with seborrheic dermatitis and 100 controls were recruited.
Disease severity assessed using Seborrheic Dermatitis Area and Severity Index.
Quality of life measured using Dermatology Quality of Life Index, while stress and anxiety levels evaluated with Perceived Stress Scale and Social Appearance Anxiety Scale.
Patients reported significantly higher scores in quality of life, stress, and anxiety compared to controls (p<0.001 for all).
Among patients, those with moderate disease severity had higher scores than those with mild severity (p<0.001).
Increased body area involvement correlated with higher psychosocial discomfort scores (p=0.015).

Case control study evaluates psychosocial impact of seborrheic dermatitis, suggesting links to treatment strategies.
