A cradle cap is a usual term used for the condition that develops to babies or to newborns. This causes red and scaly crust or patches usually on the scalp. The baby’s scalp looks as if it has dandruff. The condition is a result of active oil glands in the head and also in the face. It can also affect the ears, neck and armpits. It is sad to see that the fragile head of your baby gets cradle cap. Cradle cap condition is not serious. There are several methods to treat cradle cap. As the baby grows and proper treatment is given, it will fade away in time.

The over production of oil glands can also result to the condition. A child can have cradle cap until a he reaches 1 but beyond that age, children with cradle cap is very unusual and might have some kind of allergy or ailment.

Some things that can help control cradle cap are discussed below:

Wash the hair more often and brush the hair with soft brush. The scales should be loosened using brush with soft bristles before rinsing the shampoo.

Do not take it as a burden on your part as a parent even if the treatment will take several weeks to get rid of cradle cap completely.
