Abstract
Of 191 children who had had infantile seborrheic dermatitis, 88 were r eexamined after 10 years. One child had psoriasis, four had atopic der matitis, and seven had seborrheic dermatitis, which suggests a link wi th adult seborrheic dermatitis. A familial tendency toward infantile s eborrheic dermatitis was noted, as was an increased incidence of aller gy within the family.
