Babies - Cradle Cap; Children/Toddlers - Molluscum Contagiosum

Abstract

Seborrheic dermatitis is the term used to describe an inflammatory skin condition that can cause crusty, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas of the skin, such as the scalp, behind the ears and sometimes the eyebrows. Children/Toddlers Molluscum contagiosum can occur in children worldwide and is caused by a pox virus. A typical molluscum lesion is a dome-shaped, flesh-coloured papule, 2-6mm across, with a pearly appearance and a dimple in the centre of the bump, confined to the skin and mucous membranes. The lesions mainly appear on the face, trunk and extremities.
