POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. If your one-month-old baby has a flaky or scaly scalp, it is likely cradle cap—a common and harmless condition. Cradle cap appears as yellowish, greasy, or dry scales on the scalp. It usually doesn’t bother the baby and tends to clear up on its own over time.
To care for cradle cap:
Gently wash your baby’s scalp with a mild baby shampoo. Use a soft brush or cloth to loosen and remove the flakes after washing. Avoid scratching or picking at the scalp to prevent irritation or infection.
If the scalp looks very red, swollen, or has oozing sores, or if the cradle cap doesn’t improve with regular care, consult your pediatrician for further advice.
