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

A. Hello dear parent, you should consult with your paediatric fir those red colour patches. Or you can also try home remedy like applying coconut oil on the red patches and repeat the process after 2 to 3. It must heal or get better in few hours but if it does not then must Consult with your paediatric.
