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