A. sir , as we are making the child to bath everyday. alternate days for head bath with applying oil on his hairs ( during morning around 11 am) after applying oil around 20-30 min we are going to leave and bath later. is this correct way for treating cradle cap. as u have mentioned to apply oil on nyt time.. and I'm using a sebamed baby shampoo. is this okay . or spoo can be used?

A. your child is having cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis (baby dandruff) you have to daily apply baby shampoo (spoo is good brand) on the scalp of the child during the bathing. do not apply any type of oil onx 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 .
