impaired epidermal layer- impaired barrier allowing irritants into dermis; dec’d water content d/t poor barrier; itch-scratch cycle worsens condition. believed genetic component. birth to 2 yrs= red, crusty, extensor, face, scalp. child (2-12) lichenification of flexor surf. adult >12 similar to child but common on hands & feet. tx 3 prongs: eliminate triggers, hydrate (thick creams or ointments, avoid lotions), control itch (sedating antihistamines).

107
Q

acne neonatorum

A

results from stim of sebaceous glands by maternal or infant androgens. face, esp forehead, nose, cheeks, acneform lesions, starting in 1st month of life, usually lasts 1-2 mos. self resolve. don’t squeeze or pick. benzoyl peroxide 2.5% applied to region q day option.

108
Q

seborrhea dermatitis; infants= cradle cap

A

usually in areas of dense sebaceous glands (scalp, face, groin, underarms). thought to be overstim of sebum production; possible lipid-dependent yeast. erythematous plaque; appears greasy w/ yellow, scales. common in infants but can be present thru-out life. infant scalp tx: apply emollient (petrolatum, vegetable or mineral oil) overnight then remove plaque w/ soft brush. other parts of body: ketoconazole 2% cream once dailyx1wk or low dose hydrocortisone 1% dailyx1wk. common from 3wks-12mos.
