    Oklahoma State Department of Health 01-2018 Reviewed DERMATITIS/CRADLE CAP I. DEFINITION: A relatively common oily, scaling skin eruption affecting areas with large numbers of sebaceous glands. A common, chronic, inflammatory skin disorder with a characteristic pattern for different age groups. II. CLINICAL FEATURES: A. In children, two age groups are affected: infants and adolescents B. Mild scalp skin inflammation presents as fine, dry, white or yellow greasy scale, on an inflamed base C. More severe eruptions appear as dull, red plaques with thick, white or yellow scale in a diffuse distribution, occurring in common areas: 1. Infants: Scalp (cradle cap), scalp margins, and forehead. 2. Adolescents: Scalp, scalp margins, eyebrows, base of lashes, paranasal, nasolabial folds, external ear canals, posterior auricular fold, presternal areas, upper back and groin. D. Pruritis is usually not prominent, but may have mild itching. III. MANAGEMENT PLAN: A. General 1. MILD TO MODERATE CASES: Remove heavy scales and crusts with warm water and baby shampoo. Apply shampoo to affected area and leave on 5-10 minutes before rinsing. Comb hair with fine-tooth comb, soft baby brush or soft toothbrush, after each treatment. Shampoo every other day until scales are gone, then twice a week. 2. MODERATE TO SEVERE CASES: Use any non-prescription dandruff shampoo containing selenium sulfide (i.e., Selsun Blue) or zinc pyrithione (i.e. Head and Shoulders) every day or two. After the scales resolve, regular shampoo may be used with intermittent use of dandruff shampoo. The frequency will vary depending upon the child. If redness or irritation of the scalp is apparent, discontinue shampoo.

Atopic Skin Diathesis (ASD) is a clinical term to describe skin atopics with previous, present or future atopic dermatitis (AD). Dennie-Morgan infraorbital folds are secondary creases in the skin below the lower eyelids with a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 76% to diagnose AD. Melasma skin is characterized by impaired stratum corneum integrity and a delayed barrier recovery rate. Barrier dysfunction will stimulate keratinocyte to secrete keratinocyte-derived factor, which plays role in skin pigmentation process in melasma. To analyze correlation between ASD and Melasma Area Severity Index (MASI) score in melasma patient. This study is an observational analytic study with cross sectional design. Measurement of ASD and MASI score were done in 60 subjects with melasma who went to dermatology outpatient clinic Dr. Sardjito General Hospital from July 2017 to Januari 2018. The correlation between ASD and MASI score was analyzed using Pearson correlation. The result of this study showed no significant correlation between ASD and MASI scores (r: 0.02, p: 0,85).
