A. sounds like cradle cap.. use spoo shampoo. 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. o. k.

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