An open-label safety study was conducted in 29 pediatric subjects 3 months to 2 years old to assess the HPA axis by ACTH stimulation testing following use of the formulation of DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS Scalp Oil twice daily for 4 weeks. DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS Scalp Oil is not approved for use in pediatric patients for the treatment of psoriasis of the scalp.

Because postmarketing adverse reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Endocrine Disorders: HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome Eye Disorders: glaucoma and cataracts Nervous System Disorders: intracranial hypertension including bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema
