    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.

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.

  • Cream Ingredients
    Cream Ingredients Cream is prepared from milk by centrifugal separation. United States standards require cream containing a minimum of 36% fat to be labeled “heavy whipping” cream. Cream used as an ingredient contains 36% to 40% fat. By standardizing with skim milk, cream of different fat levels can be produced. Light whipping cream and light (“coffee” or “table”) cream contain 30% to 36% and 18% to 30% fat, respectively. Specific homogenization and heat treatments bring about desirable grades of viscosity in cream products. Cream should be stored under refrigeration. It can be quick-frozen and stored frozen until used.
