A. it might be dry scalp or 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.

A. Hi 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.
