Keeping Patients & Staff Safe & Healthy During Unprecedented Times


Though many things have changed in our current pandemic environment, one thing has continued to be the same: our commitment to your health and safety.
Our patients play a particularly important role in maintaining a safe environment in the clinic. We have created a detailed list of new guidelines for you to follow when you come in for your appointment:
  • Please arrive for your appointment on time (no more than 10 minutes early).
  • Prior to entering the clinic, you will be asked some screening questions.
  • You will be asked to use hand sanitizer when you arrive.
  • We ask you to wear your personal mask inside the clinic.
  • No accompanying people (e.g. children, friends, or family), we ask you to come alone unless you need to be accompanied.
  • Leave all non-essential belongings in your vehicle (e.g. jackets, hats, large purses)
  • All our team is always going to wear masks and wear gloves during the appointment.
  • We will ask you to remove your shoes before entering the clinic. We will provide you with slippers at your request.
  • All clients are asked to maintain respectful distancing in waiting areas and in the clinical area.
  • Note that for the time being we would prefer that you refrain from using cash as a mode of payment.
If you have any questions regarding your upcoming appointment, please call us at 403-675-0018 to speak with out staff or e-mail us at info@artofskin.ca. We are more than happy to discuss any questions you may have.

Seborrheic Dermatitis

What is Seborrheic Dermatitis?

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that affects both infants and adults. This condition causes reddened, swollen, scaly or crusty skin on the face, scalp, or body. The most commonly affected areas include the scalp, eyebrows, nasolabial folds (fold of skin beside the nose), the sides of the chin, and the area around and in the ears. This condition may be chronic and flare up with stress or climate transitions.

Seborrheic dermatitis less commonly occurs in infants. In these cases, it is referred to as cradle cap and usually disappears over time.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Seborrheic dermatitis can increase in severity if left untreated or if mistreated. Because the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis can appear similar to other skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, or an allergic reaction, it is important to see a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
