Question by tiredbutwiredlove: Care for infant with Seborrheic Dermatitis?
My 11 week old has seborrheic dermatitis. A doctor filling in for my pediatrician had diagnosed it as eczema, but my pediatrician re-diagnosed it. Her recommendations were to wash her body and hair with Cetaphil and use Head and Shoulders on her hair twice a week. She also recommened Cetaphil lotion for the body. She has the dermatitis on her scalp, face, and ears, and sometimes breaks out on her chest and arms. I have just purchased some Aquaphillic ointment, which I had heard was great for eczema. Has anyone used this for an infant with seborrheic dermatitis also? Is there anything else that can be done besides what the doctor mentioned? Also, what could be causing it? I read that dermatitis doesn’t seem to be related to allergies, but it seems to get worse when I nurse her. We’ve already ruled out a milk allergy. Any thoughts? Also – any oatmeal products make the condition worse. She said we could try a mild steroid product if the above measures didn’t work.
Best answer:
Answer by obrien just give the cetaphil time it will work.

I’ve been using prescription medications for about six years now to treat this condition, but I’m still experiencing periodic “flare-ups” on my skin, especially on my face and back. So I eagerly await your answers!
I’ve had seborrheic dermatitis around my nose, cheeks, and forehead for about 4 years. It used to be only in the winter, but now it is year-round. I think it started out as dandruff when I was around 8, and now I am 17 years old. I have acne in the exact same areas, making it difficult to use moisturizer to smooth the scaly skin. I have tried 1% hydrocortisone cream, dandruff shampoos to the face, tea tree oil, aloe vera, and over-the-counter lotions for contact dermatitis. I know that seborrhea is caused by a fungus. This may be TMI, but I am also prone to yeast infections. How can I get rid of the seborrhea? How can I get all the nasty fungus out of my body. I’m so embarrassed going to school every day with flaky skin.
