Question

seborrheic dermatitis?

Answer 1

Of course.  It is more commonly known as "dandruff" (in adults) or "cradle cap" (in infants).

What would you like to know about it?

Edit:

One of my sisters had it all over her body from about 9 months until about the age of 12.  Hers itched like crazy though.

My mom used Aveeno products (the have a baby line as well), it's a little pricey, but it helped her a lot.  Use a free and clear detergent on his clothes and try to keep his skin dry (wipe drool off as soon as possible, change his clothes if they get a lot of drool on them, change bibs often, etc).  The only other treatment is steroid creams and I don't blame you for not wanting to use them.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp in babies is treated with products that are not as strong as those used in adults. You might start with a mild, nonmedicated baby shampoo. Brushing your baby's scalp with a soft brush, like a toothbrush, can help loosen scales or flakes. But be gentle when massaging or brushing your baby's scalp--a break in the skin makes it vulnerable to infection. If a nonmedicated shampoo doesn't work, talk to your doctor about switching to a shampoo that contains tar. I hope this helps.
