Resorcinol treats seborrheic dermatitis by removing scales and controlling infection due to its keratolytic and antiseptic properties. This reduces inflammation, itching, and visible scaling.
Resorcinol, due to its keratolytic (skin-peeling) and mild antiseptic properties, aids in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis. The keratolytic action helps to remove scaly patches and dandruff, while the antiseptic properties can help control any secondary bacterial or fungal infections that may exacerbate the condition. This leads to reduced inflammation, itching, and visible scaling associated with seborrheic dermatitis.
