Seborrheic Dermatitis in Children
Seborrheic dermatitis in children is a common dermatological condition that causes redness, inflammation and peeling of the skin, mainly on the scalp, face and body areas. It usually occurs in infants and children, usually in the first year of life, and is associated with overproduction of sebum and the presence of a fungus, Malassezia.

We use safe and effective methods, such as medicated shampoos and topical treatments, tailored to their needs.
