Question
Hi,

It's possible that I suffer from an extremely mild case of seborrheic dermatitis that can be treated with over the counter products. I haven't had any real outbreaks for over a year. My question is, is seborrheic dermatitis a form of eczema or is eczema limited to atopic dermatitis?

Also, do you know if people who suffer from seborrheic dermatitis can have negative reactions to certain vaccine shots or regular shots, such as an anthrax shot used by the military?

As for as I know I am not allergic to anything.


Thank You
