Diagnosis

Table of Contents

Your doctor usually can diagnose seborrhea by a simple physical examination.

Expected Duration

In infants, seborrhea typically is worst during the first year of life. It usually disappears on its own as the child grows, and it may return during the teenage years. In adults and adolescents, seborrhea tends to be a chronic condition that comes and goes over many years.
