Seborrheic Dermatitis

2019-03-14 07:18:25
Hi My one month old baby has red rashes on her face. Doctor has diagnosed Seborrheic Dermatitis. Recommended Atonide cream. Is this safe? Concerned because while one doctor recommended applying coconut oil on face the other recommended avoiding for the months.

Atonide is a mild low potency steroid , safety at one month is not clearly established, best would be to use coconut oil and then shampoo it all and clean the scalp with a baby toothbrush, for more information always talk to your pediatrician
