Seborrheic Dermatitis in Patients with Down's Syndrome
This protocol covers the management of seborrheic dermatitis (SD) in patients who also have Down's syndrome — a population in which severe or extensive facial and scalp presentations are a recognised pattern.
Clinical Scenario
Down's syndrome
Severe facial and/or scalp seborrheic dermatitis forms are commonly observed in individuals with Down's syndrome, identifying this as a distinct subgroup that may require a more intensive clinical approach than uncomplicated SD.
Treatment Approach
For this presentation, a systemic antifungal strategy may be part of the treatment approach — the full structured regimen, including sequencing and criteria for use, is available via the link below.
