Description / History:
SCR is an antiseptic cream used to treat Infantile seborrheic dermatitis (also known as cradle cap). Cradle cap is white, yellow or brown scaly skin patches on the infants scalp. SCR cream is applied to the infants scalp and massaged gently; it is left on for 30 minutes to two hours before rinsing it off. It should not be applied to inflamed or broken dermis. In this container, there is about half of the SCR cream left; the cream is a light coral color. This SCR was manufactured during the late twentieth century by J. Pickles and Sons in England. It was bought at the Somerset Pharmacy for $2.15.
