Abstract:
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is one of the most prevalent forms of dermatitis. It is characterized as a form of dermatitis by the presence of red, scaly, and oily patches on the seborrheic area. Currently, there are numerous different medications available for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis; however, the primary therapy of choice that is widely used among physicians all over the world is groups of topical corticosteroids, which are known to lead to a significant amount of side effects over the long-term usage. Hemp seed extract contains various active ingredients, the most important one is cannabidiol or CBD, that have been studied both in vitro and in vivo to have anti-inflammatory, decreased erythema, and sebum-inhibiting effects. Therefore, hemp seed extract could have potential treatment for facial seborrheic dermatitis (SD). The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a cream containing hemp seed extract is effective in the treatment of SD. A total of ten participants were recruited, and over the course of two weeks, they used the cream on the lesion on face twice daily every day. The severity of SD was evaluated at the beginning of the study, then again after one and two weeks, and side effects were also monitored. The findings of this study demonstrated that applying a cream containing hemp seed extract decreased the clinical severity of SD, as evidenced by a reduction in erythema as well as sebum production. According to the findings of the study, topical hemp seed extract may be an effective alternative therapy option for SD, as its safe from adverse effects
