Abstract

Iltihab-e-Jild Huzazi (IJH) or Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a mild inflammatory disorder of skin that mainly affects scalp. Central face nasolabial folds, eyebrows and central chest are other commonly affected areas in adults. It is due to Pityrosporum ovale infection of the skin. According to Unani system of medicine IJH is due to predominance of certain humors at the site of balgham (phlegm) and sauda (black bile).Here in we report a case of Iltihab-e-Jild Huzazi and reduction in sign and symptoms following treatment with Pharmacopoeial Unani medicine Habb Musaffi Khoon along with a proprietary medicine Eczenil ointment. There is almost complete clearance of scaly patches on the head after the treatment for 15 days with this combination. It may be concluded that the above combination may be used as a cost effective and safe treatment option for IJH (SD).
