Cradle cap in 4 year old? or something else?

[walkinthewoods]

My 4yo dd has what looks like cradle cap. Have only just noticed it today. She hasn;t complained that its itchy or anything. She never had it as a baby but ds did and it looks just like that.
Have googled it and it seems that it wouldn;t be cradle cap, she's too old. It looks like it could be dermatitis or psorsis (sp).

impetigo?

Don't think so, she has scaly, flakey skin only on her scalp.

My DD is nearly 5 and has cradle cap.

Itati
Has she always had it?

Should I try anythign with dd or just take her to gp's tomorrow to get a diagnosis?

ds1 is 3.8 and still has cradle cap.

She has had it since she was a baby iirc and her brother had it until about 4. TBH I haven't done much to get rid, it is only dry skin afterall, and I didn't rate Dentonox shampoo.

I would see the HV or nurse first rather than use a GP appointment tbh.

Both mine have cradle cap - ds is 4.4 and dd is 2.9.

My dd still has cradle cap too. Why don't you try some of the baby methods and see if they work: Dentinox shampoo, vaseline, olive oil, someone on here also said HEad & Shoulders I think

ds2 is 2.2 and I noticed the other day a patch of what I'm 99.9% sure must be cradle cap - he never had it as a baby although ds1 did.
