AB This  condition  is  the  most  common  of  all  pediatric  dermatoses.  For  the  majority  of  patients,  the  onset  occurs  during  infancy.  The  classic  clinical  appearance  in  this  age  group  is  illustrated  in  Figs.  8-1,  8-2,  8-3.  There  are  symmetrical  patches  of  erythema,  exudation,  and  scale  involving  the  cheeks  and  chin.  It  is  not  unusual  also  to  see  widespread  involvement  of  the  trunk  and  extensor  extremities  during  infancy;  the  diaper  area  is  most  often  spared.
