Hi.
I could really use some advice on this. I was cleaning my 6 week old baby's hair today and came across this. Doesn't seem to bother her but looks quite sore does anyone know what it could be? Thanks

It looks like cradle cap to me. Very common, you can use baby shampoo and baby oil to soften it, and then a very soft brush. Just make sure there are no signs of injection eg hot to the touch, oozing, baby has a fever etc.
