Cradle Cap

Cradle cap is a common, harmless skin condition affecting infants, characterised by yellowish, greasy, and scaly patches on the scalp. This condition, also known as infantile seborrheic dermatitis, typically appears in the first few months of life. While cradle cap is not painful or itchy, it can be unsightly.

Gentle washing with a mild baby shampoo and soft brushing can help manage the flakes. In persistent cases, applying baby oil or specialised cradle cap treatments may be beneficial. Most infants outgrow cradle cap without any intervention by their first birthday. Understanding cradle cap can help parents care for their baby's delicate skin effectively.
