Cradle cap in an older child?

26 replies

Dd is 5 and has a very thick patch of what looks like cradle cap on her head. I have been using olive oil on it, but it really hasn't done anything to touch it. The outer layers come off, but it's so thick that I can't shift it all. I've been picking bits of it off, but as fast as I shift some, it comes back.

Any suggestions for a really effective treatment? Would prefer not to use something too chemically.

My ds2 has had severe cradle cap, tried all the usual oils or not using shampoo.
In the end the GP prescribed ALPHOSYL 2 in 1 shampoo & it worked!
