Avatar f tn Hence if your child is school going then it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis.

Moreover it causes redness and inflammation of skin with yellow patches or red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. Hence it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis in your child’s case but confirmation needs to be done.
