AB A  59-year-old  man  presents  with  a  3-month  history  of  an  itchy  rash  on  his  face  (Figures  157-1  and  157-2).  He  states  that  he  has  had  this  rash  intermittently  for  many  years,  but  that  it  had  recently  worsened.  He  denies  any  major  risk  factors  for  HIV  and  does  not  have  Parkinson  disease.  He  has  been  under  more  stress  lately  and  has  noticed  that  this  exacerbates  his  rash.  There  was  scale  visible  on  the  forehead,  under  the  eyebrows,  and  in  the  beard.  There  is  also  some  mild  erythema  on  the  cheeks  and  around  the  nasolabial  folds.  The  diagnosis  of  seborrheic  dermatitis  was  made  and  treatment  began  with  appropriate  topical  agents  to  treat  the  inflammation  and  the  Malassezia.  On  the  following  visit,  the  patient  had  complete  clearance  of  his  seborrheic  dermatitis.
