“…Inter‐regional differences in facial skin temperatures have clinical implications for disease localization and patterns. Hale and Bystryn (16) found that warmer areas of the face were more commonly affected by seborrheic dermatitis. Using an IR‐M700 thermal imager, they discovered striking heterogeneity in the temperature pattern of facial skin.…”

Background: Facial skin exhibits unique biophysical properties that are distinct from skin belonging to other areas of the body. Small to large regional differences in biophysical properties between facial sites are observed. Technological advances in dermatological research allow a quantitative study of the biophysical qualities of the face and its relation to skin elsewhere. However, comprehensive studies examining inter-regional variations using each of the six standard biophysical parameters have been few. We summarize findings on the biophysical parameters used to explore the human face as well as regional differences in skin reactivity to chemical irritants. Methods: We performed a literature search using Pubmed, Embase, Science Citations Index, and the UCSF's dermatological library on biophysical parameters and skin physiology pertaining to the human face. Results: Distinct regional differences in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), capacitance, blood flow, sebum, pH, and temperature were demonstrated in facial skin. However, studies cannot be compared with each other because each uses different anatomical sites, skin conditions, and measurement techniques. Intraregional differences in TEWL, sebum, and temperatures were observed

“…In addition, the skin surface lipid composition in men with seborrheic dermatitis has been shown to differ from that of unaffected controls 15 . One study 16 has shown that the areas of the face that tend to be implicated in seborrheic dermatitis are consistently warmer than those areas that are not commonly involved. However, this may be related to the fact that skin temperature varies with the lipid composition of the skin surface 16 .…”

However, this may be related to the fact that skin temperature varies with the lipid composition of the skin surface 16 . There may also be a hormonal influence: not only does the disease begin to develop at puberty, but seborrheic dermatitis is more common in men than in women, suggesting an influence of androgens on the pilosebaceous unit.…”
