Cradle cap question

Hi all.

My 4 month old DD has cradle cap which we have been using dentinox treatment shampoo for. It's starting to come away now and flake off, however, I think it's itching a lot as DD keeps scratching her head which now looks sore.

Is there anything I can put on her head to relieve the itching??

Thanks in advance xx

Hello, my HV prescribed Diprobase Ointment for my DS's cradle cap which was pretty bad. It cleared it up within a few days. I had to wash it off with dentinox every evening to prevent it building up and it gave him a bit of a greasy head during the day but it all started flaking off really quickly. You can use Diprobase for eczema so it may help with the itching.

Hope this helps! Xx

Hi, I actually have similar issue with my 4 month old and found sudocream seems to work.
