A. your child is having cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis and you have to daily apply baby shampoo on the scalp of the child during the bathing and do not apply any type of oil on the scalp during the daayytime but only apply oil at the night time and within one week the cradle cap will disappear. cradle cap is baby dandruff and is a type of fungal infection

A. mostly it will disappear means It will usually go on its own. Just apply coconut oil and give massage to baby head. Use a soft comb to remove the flakes and wash baby head with mild shampoo or medicated shampoo. Too much oil application and shampoo application should be avoided. Frequent hair wash also should be avoided. Use seperate comb for baby always.
