Severe cradle cap - dentinox and coconut oil not working

[Rebelwithallthecause]

An anyone recommend a sure fire remedy for cradle cap

The dentinox and coconut oil is t working and it’s just getting worse and thicker

[MumUndone]

Sudocrem overnight and then use a baby brush to get the flakes off.

I just left it until it cleared up itself. Why is it embarrassing?

Trevorina,

No problems, I am grateful that you threw out a suggestion. Am desperate now, and cannot get a docs appt for love nor money at the minute. Thanks anyway.

We found we had to comb it off. We softened it with coconut oil but then used a soft bristle baby brush to gently chip it away. Nothing else even slightly worked.

It doesn’t always clear up though and children can be very unkind and bully another child with it.

I've answered this before on one of these threads....will have to find the pic again.
DS2's was so bad he had steroid cream as it was getting infected behind his ears and round his nose.

In the end medical grade olive oil and a nit comb helped until it cleared up. He then had the most beautiful skin.

Kokoso baby is very good in my experience

[Thneedville]

A hat.

Olive oil to soften it then scrape and lift it it off with a fine toothed comb. Very satisfying!

[Trousersareoverrated]

DDs was horrible. I tried softening it with moisturiser and scraping gently with a comb but it didn’t work.

In desperation I followed a friend’s recommendation and ordered some moo goo scalp cream online. Put it on her head morning and night and it cleared up within a couple of weeks and didn’t come back.

I’m not usually a believer in miracle cure creams but this was amazing.

Olive oil!

[DimidDavilby]

Breast milk to soften and then remove

My DD looked like a klingon as a baby, nothing worked, so I literally have no photos of her. When she was about 18 months it went and she is a very beautiful girl now, DS never had it.

[Sheknowsaboutme]

Well i picked my kids cradle cap off.

It worked, and baby shampoo,

[autumnkate]

My daughters looked pretty bad and smelt worse. I put olive oil on and left it for half an hour. Then I basically backcombed her scalp/ hair with a plastic comb and it all came off. She didn’t mind at all.

It was very satisfying.

[IHateCoronavirus]

Make a thick paste out of olive oil and baking powder and leave on under a little hat. After as long as you’ve got, give the scalp a gentle massage (the texture of the baking powder works wonders here) then shampoo and rinse, you might need a couple of shampoos) then brush with a soft brush and enjoy!
I miss the days when mine had cradle cap, it was strangely satisfying.

Capasal therapeutic shampoo is licensed to treat cradle cap. You can buy it over the counter by speaking to a pharmacist.

[WhoWants2Know]

We use bicarbonate as a scrub while washing hair, and that helps lots.

10 weeks old and covering his whole forehead.

Olive oil

That was like my DD, capasal made it raw, I really think it is best to leave it and use emollients until they grow out of it.
