Could also just be milk? It can build up a bit over time!

Thanks all. I already removed cradle cap from baby’s head but clearly neglected behind the ears

I popped Vaseline on and it sorted it out

We also used extra virgin olive oil but I preferred coconut oil as it didn't mark clothing.

My 13 month old has this.

You could try a more natural oil. Baby oil didn't help my daughter's skin but her doctor recommended virgin coconut oil when she was 3 months old and it was great for eczema and cradle cap.

It's very mild cradle cap. Old remedy was olive oil and medicated soap.

Definitely cradle cap, mine used to get this too behind their ears.

Looks like cradle cap - it doesnt just happen on heads! Baby oil left to soak in for a bit and then a bit of a scrub with a flannel should do it.

My daughter had this, I just put moisturiser on it and gently scrubbed at it with a flannel. Once it came off it didn't come back again

Thanks! Yes it does feel dry to the touch. Should baby oil do the trick if I apply it more regularly?

Just looks like a bit of dry skin, both my girls used to get it behind their ears. I used to pop a bit of Aveeno on it

Does anyone know what this could be? My baby is 5 months old and has it behind both ears. I’ve been applying baby oil sporadically but it hasn’t made a difference - though as I say, I’ve not been using it regularly. Any ideas?
