Hi all

2 mnth old has cradle cap, the shampoo got rid ofmost of it at the front of scalp but quite a bit left in middle and little but on soft spot, we have special cradle cap shampoo we use but now its gone yellow and crusty, i have a baby brush and stuff but havent used it yet i didnt know I was to and now scared it will make it bleed if brushed, any tips on what to do? Is there anything else i can use on it

Thank you

We use Dentinox shampoo and it went away in a week. Sure others also mentioned some olive oil and maybe coconut oil before the evening shower (on the head, then gently brush with a very soft toothbrush then wash).

Soak with coconut oil and leave for an hour or so before trying brushing again- really loosens it up
