Primary Outcome

Petroleum jelly will be applied to the areas of the face affected by Nonscalp Seborrheic Dermatitis every other night for four weeks. Patients will be seen in the office at one week, two weeks, and one month during the course of the treatment. Pictures will be taken at each visit to determine the progress of the treatment.
