Clinical application of ozone hydrotherapy combined with scalp complex acid treatment for moderate to severe scalp seborrheic dermatitis

Introduction: This study evaluates the effectiveness of combining ozone hydrotherapy with scalp complex acid in treating scalp seborrheic dermatitis (SSD). Methods: A total of 96 patients with moderate to severe SSD were randomly assigned to either the Control group (treated with scalp complex acid) or the Observation group (treated with a combination of ozone hydrotherapy and scalp complex acid). The treatment period lasted 4 weeks. SSD severity was evaluated using a 16-point composite score that assessed erythema, scaling, and pruritus. Total skin damage score was rated on a 4-point scale. Scalp sebum levels were measured using a Sebumeter SM 810, and serum levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: < 0.001). Discussion: The combination of ozone hydrotherapy and scalp complex acid showed enhanced therapeutic benefits for SSD, leading to improved clinical outcomes and a reduction in systemic inflammation.
