Cradle cap- ongoing saga

Soooooooo my babies cradle cap is now beyond horrific! He's clawing at it all the time so we have him in a love to dream swaddle bag so he can't scratch his head when he's asleep and I now can't do anything around the house when he's awake as I'm on guard for his clawing at his head (mittens don't work)
I was prescribed anti fungal cream by the doctors last week and 4 days in my babies head is beyond horrific!
The photo attached shows his left side of his forehead last week and now and the right side, last week and now.
I'm currently waiting for a call back from the doctor as I think there is something else going on with his skin besides cradle cap. I could literally cry!
Anyone else ever had their babies suffer this bad? 😭😭😭

My guess is cow's milk protein allergy too. My son had horrific cradle cap and eczema all over his face. As soon as he was off milk he was transformed within days.

God knows how many times the GP dismissed my concerns. We only got sorted when he was 6 months old and had anaphylaxis after his first taste of baby rice/porridge.

He had very severe CMPA and was also allergic to soya so had to have neocate. His little sister's allergies were "milder" so she had nutramigen
