We also talked about how seborrheic dermatitis is caused by malassezia.

Everyone has malassezia. It is a lipophilic yeast that eats lipids, and it's a normal part of our body and our microflora. There are 14 different species of malassezia on humans, but they're on other mammals like dogs. We actually think that every mammal has malassezia - but most people haven't heard of it! It's a yeast that everyone has that isn't talked about a lot.

Malassezia causes many different skin conditions, but the most common is seborrheic dermatitis, and we call it Seb Derm.

Today, we are going to talk about the treatments for malassezia that cause the dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
