Filter by:Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. These scales can occur with or without underlying reddened skin. In addition to causing psychological distress, low self esteem, and embarrassment, seborrheic dermatitis is associated with scalp pruritus (itch). Treatment modalities exist to control scalp flaking and itch associated with seborrheic dermatitis, although such therapies often lose efficacy over time. As seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic (life-long) condition, better treatments are needed. The investigators propose to better characterize in subjects with seborrheic dermatitis involving the scalp versus normal scalp controls: (a) the clinical characteristics of the associated itch and (b) the pattern of nerve innervation to the scalp. In this way, the investigators hope to get a comprehensive understanding of the factors causing scalp itch with the aim that this information will create new candidates to which treatment modalities can be designed. At least 12 (up to 20) subjects and similar number of control subjects without disease will have one clinic visit including questionnaires, testing of sensation on the scalp, and biopsy of the scalp.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological disease, evolving by relapses, affecting mainly the face and scalp. It would be important to have a maintenance treatment for severe forms of seborrheic dermatitis witch is both effective and relatively well tolerated to reduce the frequency of relapses, prolong remissions obtained after attack treatment and reduce the use of topical steroids.
The purpose of this study is to determine if two test products are safe and effective in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether proactive use of 0.1% tacrolimus ointment once or twice weekly can keep adult facial SD in remission and reduce the incidence of exacerbation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Promiseb Topical Cream in cradle cap.
The aims of this study are to compare the effectiveness of antifungal foam versus antifungal shampoo and determine patient compliance and satisfaction with both vehicles among African American females with dandruff practicing less than once weekly hair washing.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) is a papulosquamous (presence of both papules and scales) disorder patterned on the sebum-rich areas of the scalp, face, and trunk. The current treatment does not cure the disease permanently. Therefore it must be repeated when the symptoms recur, or even prophylactically. Corticosteroids and antifungals are the mainstay of therapy. Topical corticosteroids rapidly reduce the cutaneous signs of disease, but are associated with a high frequency of relapse when treatment is stopped. They are reserved for acute flare-ups only as they may precipitate recurrences and dependence. In addition, chronic use of corticosteroids is associated with side-effects. The scientific rationale for the use of K40 for treatment of SD was based on clinical evidence that K40 improves erythema and desquamation with mild adverse reactions in a few cases. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of K40 (K40a and K40b combined) compared to placebo after 4 weeks treatment as measured by the sum of erythema and desquamation scores at Week 4.
Seborrhoeic eczema (SE) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder confined to areas of the head and trunk where sebaceous glands are most prominent. The severity varies from mild dandruff to exfoliative erythroderma that ranges from mild, patchy scaling to widespread, and thick, adherent crusts. The worldwide prevalence of SE is 3-5%, although dandruff, the mildest form of the disorder affects up to 15-20% of the population. In this multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study, adult SE patients are treated once daily for 4 weeks. The population for this study is patients with mild to moderate SE. The primary endpoint for this study is the efficacy of K301 compared to placebo which was based on the sum score for erythema and desquamation after 4 weeks of daily application. Secondary endpoints are to evaluate safety and tolerability as well as efficacy.
This study is an evaluation of the role of topical dissolved oxygen to lessen visible signs of photodamage using a select regimen of topical dissolved oxygen containing cosmeceutical products. Evaluation of the overall skin tolerability of topical dissolved oxygen (safety) utilizing the regimen of products.
The objective is to assess different treatment regimens with Clobetasol propionate shampoo 0.05% in the treatment of scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis.
