AB Seborrheic  dermatitis  represents  a  spectrum  ranging  from  localized  lesions  to  generalized  exfoliative  erythroderma.  All  ages  are  affected.  Lesions  have  an  erythematous  base  with  a  yellow,  greasy  scale.  The  scalp,  external  auditory  canal,  postauricular  ear,  eyebrows,  eyelids,  and  face  (especially  the  nasolabial  folds)  are  common  locations.  Infants  can  have  lesions  at  the  above  sites,  but  focal  and  confluent  lesions  are  most  common  on  the  scalp  and  called  “cradle  cap.”  Atypical  presentations  can  occur  in  the  axillae,  umbilicus,  chest,  and  inguinal  folds.
