A. No, it will not work in cradle cap. Rub a small amount of a pure, natural oil – such as almond or olive oil – on your baby's scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Gently comb out the flakes with a fine-tooth comb or brush them out with a soft brush.Its normal to have skin color different at different parts. Babies have uneven skin tone it's very common and there is nothing you can do about it. just feed well and do regular massage.

A. Hi Cradle Is not an issue it is going to settle down on its own only with passing time you just oil properly and then you can just do a shampoo any basic shampoo and you can brush it with a soft brush it will come out automatically you do not need any special shampoo for that and if you are seeing any skin discolouration then you should get a check with your paediatrician ones
