چکیده
mon dermatoses of infancy. SD is an inflammatory process that presents as tiny papules covered by scales typically localized to the seborrheic region. We report a case of a 2-month-old infant with SD who went on to develop atopic dermatitis (AD). Additionally, we discuss epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment modalities for SD, as well as an association of SD and AD. Cutis. 2006;77:297-300. Case Report A 2-month-old white infant presented with diffuse hyperkeratosis of the scalp of 2 weeks’ duration. He also had fine macerated erythema of the retroauricular area, neck, axillae, and groin. These lesions were consistent with a clinical diagnosis of infantile seborrheic dermatitis (ISD). Application of mineral oil to the scalp resulted in softening and improvement of scalp lesions. The body lesions were ameliorated by the application of a mixture of hydrocortisone and nystatin creams to the neck, axillae, and groin. The lesions recurred, requiring periodic reapplication of the medicaments. Eventually, the lesions occurred less frequently and the scalp lesions resolved completely over the next 2 months. However, the patient developed typical atopic dermatitis (AD) as a 6-month-old, typified by erythematous excoriated plaques in the antecubital and popliteal regions. Infantile Seborrheic Dermatitis

متن کاملNew Insights into the Etiopathogenesis of Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is initially described by P. G. Unna in 1887 and the association with Malassezia yeasts is accepted up to the middle of the 20th century, when the observed increased epidermal cell turnover gradually prompts researchers to characterize this condition as being intrinsic to the skin[1, 2]. Seborrheic dermatitis is common dermatological problem that affects the seborrheic are...
