Seborrhoea or capillary grease is a problem whose origin resides inside while their detection is usually outside. Seborrhoea typically is felt on the skin and the follicle, when the follicular bag is full although, there is a seborrhea type like an Apparent Seborrhoea that although there is a seborrhea located outside, inside is nonexistent.

Seborrhoea is usually caused by overactive sebaceous glands, they secrete more grease than normal.

In order to perform a successful treatment, we should know perfectly identify the grease and then classify it; To do this, SIMONE TRICHOLOGY has taken a step forward over others and has classified four different types of seborrhea:

Real seborrhoea: dry skin – greasy bulb
Seborrhoea in two layers: dry skin – greasy bulb – hair loss
Seborrhoea into four layers: greasy skin – greasy bulb
Apparent seborrhoea: greasy skin – dystrophic bulb

Other disorders that can lead to confusion as to the identification of seborrhea, are BROMHIDROSIS and HYPERHIDROSIS:

BROMHIDROSIS, when the sebaceous glands and apocrine sweat gland, secrete in equal parts, the bulb is drowned and slowly be undone.
HYPERHIDROSIS is excessive sweating of the eccrine sweat gland.

It can be very easy to confuse sweat with grease, to not make this mistake, we must consider that, if there is no excess seborrhoea inside the follicle, we do have to find an excess of body sweat.
