### Human:\nmy daughter is ten months old she has seborrea on her head i want to know what cause's it and is it treatable?\n\n### Assistant: seborrheic dermatitis (seborrheic capitus) is very common in children. the causes are often undiscoverable so the focus is generally on the treatment. medicated shampoos both over-the-counter and prescription are often used as well as prescription solutions containing topical cortisone. shampoos with selenium sulfide are particularly helpful in managing this skin condition.
