the frequency of common skin conditions in preschool aged children in australia seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis Capitis Cradle Cap
Archives of Dermatology, 2003Co-Authors: Peter Foley, Yeqin Zuo, Anne Plunkett, Kate Merlin, Robin MarksAbstract:Objective To determine the prevalence and severity of seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis Capitis in Australian preschool-aged children. Design A stratified cross-sectional skin survey using cluster sampling of centers throughout Victoria, Australia. Setting The study population included children attending child care centers, preschools, and Maternal and Child Health Centers, with the reference population being Australian children 5 years and younger. Participants Of the 1634 children in the original sample, 1116 children aged 11 days to 5 years 11 months were included in the study. Intervention Parents completed a questionnaire recording demographic information and personal and family history of skin problems and related diseases. A dermatologist performed a total skin examination, including the diaper area for children younger than 12 months. Main Outcome Measure The age- and sex-specific prevalence rates and site and severity of seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis Capitis were measured. Results The overall age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of seborrheic dermatitis was 10.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.2%-11.7%): 10.4% (95% CI, 7.8%-12.9%) in boys and 9.5% (95% CI, 7.0%-12.0%) in girls. This was highest in the first 3 months of life, decreasing rapidly by the age of 1 year, after which it slowly decreased over the next 4 years. Most (71.9%) had disease classified as minimal to mild. Pityriasis Capitis occurred in 41.7% (95% CI, 38.8%-44.6%) of the 1116 children examined, with 85.8% categorized as minimal to mild only. Conclusions Seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis Capitis are common in early childhood. Most children have minimal to mild disease that would require little if any treatment. Education programs directed at those caring for preschool-aged children are needed to provide information on simple preventative measures and treatment, if necessary, that could easily reduce the morbidity associated with these very common conditions.

topical non medicated loyon in facilitating the removal of scaling in infants and children with Cradle Cap a proof of concept pilot study
Dermatologic Therapy, 2014Co-Authors: Ulrich R HenggeAbstract:Introduction Cradle Cap is a very common condition in infants that presents as greasy, scaly patches on the scalp within the first weeks of life. Although usually disappearing by itself, the condition worries parents because of its appearance. When removing the scales, it is crucial to prevent spot bleedings to avoid infections. The investigational medical device LOYON® (Cetiol® CC, dimethicone) solution (G. Pohl-Boskamp GmbH & Co. KG, Hohenlockstedt, Germany) has the potential to meet these needs since it removes scales gently. It was, therefore, the aim of this proof-of-concept study to assess the efficacy and safety of topically applied, non-medicated LOYON® in facilitating the removal of scaling in infants and children with Cradle Cap without inducing spot bleedings.

does the supine sleeping position have any adverse effects on the child i health in the first six months
Pediatrics, 1997Co-Authors: Linda P Hunt, Peter J Fleming, Jean GoldingAbstract:Objective. To assess whether the recommendations that infants sleep supine could have adverse health consequences. Design. A prospective study of infants, delivered before, during, and after the Back to Sleep Campaign in the United Kingdom (UK), followed to 6 months of age. The children were part of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ALSPAC). Subjects. Singletons born to mothers resident in the three former Bristol-based health districts of Avon in the period June 1991 to December 1992, and for whom questionnaires were completed on sleeping position at 4 to 6 weeks of age (n = 9777); for these infants 8524 questionnaires were also completed at 6 to 8 months of age. Main Outcome Measures. Subjective measures of health, the presence of specific signs and symptoms, duration of sleep at night, and calling the family doctor to the home. Results. Of 43 outcomes considered, after adjustment for 12 factors using logistic regression only 2 were associated with raised risk among infants put to sleep on their back (diaper rash and Cradle Cap). Infants put to sleep prone had increased risk of a number of health outcomes, including cough and possibly pyrexia. Conclusions. There is no evidence that putting infants to sleep in the supine position results in increased morbidity, although changes in prevalence of rare disorders would not have been identified.
