Expert Answer
A dog’s seborrheic dermatitis is mainly linked to genetics, hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiency, and skin infection. Some breeds naturally secrete much sebum; without cleaning, dermatitis easily develops.
In addition, dry or damp environments raise the chance of seborrheic dermatitis. Also, kidney disease or skin infection can increase sebum and trigger it.
