The cause of seborrheic dermatitis is most likely excessive activity of the sebaceous glands combined with skin infection with the fungus Malassezia furfur. Therefore, the basic procedure in the disease is: - avoiding excessive lubrication of the skin with emollients, using gentle moisturizing care instead of "heavy", oily emollients used in AD, the only place where it is worth applying oily preparations is the hairy scalp in the event of cradle cap. - the use of antifungal preparations, but here I recommend consulting a doctor, because many of the preparations are available only on prescription (eg Pimafucin) - local drying of the skin in the areas of oozing lesions, e.g. with the help of the so-called white mush (it is a prescription drug containing talc, zinc oxide, glycerin and water) or ready-made preparations, e.g. zinc paste available without a prescription in a pharmacy. I attach a link to over-the-counter zinc oxide products: - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/59884/pasta-cynkowa-aflofarm-pasta/apteki - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/85955/zinadermin-krem/apteki I will also add that during transitional periods, when skin lesions are alleviated, it is even recommended to reduce the intensity of skin care. After bathing, it is not recommended to additionally lubricate the skin (although in some children this does not lead to exacerbation). Overheating of the child should be avoided, because in this situation there is an excessive work of sweat and sebaceous glands, which can intensify the changes. However, during periods of exacerbation and intense itching, steroid ointments are used, and in cases of bacterial superinfections of the skin, ointments with an antibiotic, e.g. Mupirox mentioned by Ms. It may be comforting to know that in infants, LA is most often a process that resolves spontaneously until the age of 12 months, and appropriate care habits can significantly alleviate changes.

My daughter probably has seborrheic dermatitis, which is why I asked about this product. The antibiotic mupirox helps, but we can not use it for long. Is it possible to use something after mastering the exacerbation to act proliactically?

The manufacturer of Oliprox cream does not specify a lower age limit for the use of the product. However, I will refer to the main antifungal substances that are part of the cream: - olamine pyroctonate - this ingredient is not recommended for use in children under 2 years of age, - klimbazole, on the other hand, is a component of some cosmetics for babies, e.g. Mustela shampoo in baby foam (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/99088/mustela-stelatopia-szampon-w-piance-plyn/apteki), which indicates its safety. In my opinion, due to the olamine pyroxatoate that is part of the cream, the cream should not be used in a 6-month-old baby. The specific concentration of this substance in the product and the risks associated with the possible use of the cream are not known, but I encourage you to clarify the question so that you can recommend specific products depending on the symptoms that will be safe for the child.

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
