Cradle cap on eyebrows....

My DS has a little bit of cradle cap on his head. Not too bad, but its now on his eyebrows! Is this normal? Is there anything I can do? I've just left it, its been there for about 2 weeks.

yes my dd has a bit on eyebrows. massage in olive oil taking care not to get into eyes, and wash out in morning.

I second olive oil. Leave it on for a bit, then gently wipe off with a cotton ball. The cradle cap will come away.

clean their eybrows with johnsons baby shampoo diluted 1:4 with water. My elderly mum had it and it works great.
