ICD-11 definition : An inflammatory but usually non-pruritic dermatitis of infants with a similar distribution
to adult seborrhoeic dermatitis. Its principal manifestations are a confluent psoriasiform
napkin eruption and greasy, adherent scaling over the scalp (cradle cap). In disseminated
forms the face, retroauricular folds, neck and trunk may be involved. A small proportion
of cases represent infantile onset of psoriasis (napkin psoriasis). Its onset is characteristically
earlier than that of infantile atopic eczema, the subsequent development of which
it does not preclude.;
