2️⃣ Cradle Cap (Seborrheic Dermatitis) – Yellowish, scaly patches on the scalp.
✔ Apply coconut oil or baby oil for 15-20 mins before bath.
✔ Use a soft brush to gently remove flakes.
3️⃣ Eczema (Dry, Itchy Skin) – Red, dry, or flaky patches.
✔ Use a mild, fragrance-free baby moisturizer after bath.
✔ Avoid harsh shampoos and hot water baths.
4️⃣ Allergic Reaction – New shampoo, soap, or detergent may cause rashes.
