SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS

RELIEF FROM ITCHY SKIN AND SCALP

Seborrheic dermatitis usually appears as a red, scaly, itchy rash on the scalp, in the eyebrows, and on the sides of the nose.

In infants, seborrheic dermatitis is called cradle cap. Cradle cap usually resolves on its own within the first year of life. In older individuals, seborrheic dermatitis may occur more commonly in hospitalized patients, those in nursing homes, and those with nervous system or immune system diseases.

Gentle shampooing with a mild product can be helpful for children with cradle cap. Seborrheic dermatitis in adults is treated with a topical anti-fungal or steroid creams in addition to medicated shampoos. When seborrheic dermatitis overlaps with scalp psoriasis, excimer narrowband UVB can be a helpful adjunct to topical therapy.

CONTACT DERMATITIS

Contact dermatitis is a type of eczema that occurs when something that touches skin causes a rash. It can happen immediately or appear up to several weeks later.

EXCIMER LASER

The Excimer laser utilizes targeted narrowband UVB (ultraviolet B) for localized eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, and other rashes.

PATCH TESTING

Patch testing is used for patients with dermatitis to find out whether substances coming into contact with the skin are causing or aggravating their condition.
