10. Seborrheic Dermatitis

While dandruff is a common affliction with which most people are familiar, seborrheic dermatitis is a more extreme condition that causes stubborn flaking, itching, and redness. Many have heard the term cradle cap: the condition's manifestation in babies creates scaly patches on an infant's scalp. Frequent scratching can also make one more susceptible to bacterial or viral scalp infections.
