Father of a 6 yr old boy5 years ago
Q.

My baby is having cradle cap and due to this he lost all hairs at crown area . Doctor has advised to use Desonide lotion 🧴 for 5 days . I have used it and cradle cap reduced in 5 days . Now it is returned back again and hair growth is not coming as I am watching from 20 days . I am worried as someone said if you use this lotion hairs will not come back as this lotion has steroid . I am so much worried.Please help.

A. hair will come back don't worryit recvers at 6 to 12 months. just oil it if its dry. avoid excess shampoo. if its patchy ,oily, wash with mild shampoo. use soft bristled comb to remove the flakes. dont worry, its harmless. consult doctor if it spreads, or its itching excessively.
