Accepted Answer

Like this? : Seborrheic dermatitis ("cradle cap") can spread to the face, eyelashes ; behind ears. It can be treated by using z-tar or other anti-dandruff shampoo. Lather up a fingertip's worth, shampoo ; rinse thoroughly. If the scalp is red for more than a few moments, discontinue use. If it looks infected or is very itchy, see her pediatrician for other treatments (miconazole or mild hc creams).

Question 2

Question 3

my 1 year old has rash on face and under chin, it's red spotted and itchy under chin. going around to side of ears! should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like eczema: Most likely eczema, one type of atopic dermatitis. Usually Hydrocortisone oitment you can buy over the counter does help. But i would not do it without him or her examined by a doctor and have the diagnosis confirmed, because it is impossible to make a diagnosis of a rash without examination.

Question 9

rash on face from coconut oil, what can i use?

Accepted Answer

Pimples?: Some people cannot tolerate too much oil on the face because it may induce pimples although less likely at your age.  About 85% of the people after puberty have a mold residing normally at their skin (pityrosporum ovale) which thrives on oil and may cause seborrhea on some people.  Use a less oily moisturizer on you face and if still troublesome , consult a dermatologist.
