Is this cradle cap?

Awaiting call from HV to discuss but wondering if anyone has seen this skin issue on their baby before?

After searching online it looks similar to cradle cap but not entirely sure. DD is 6 weeks old. This crust is mainly around her eyebrows but looks like it’s starting at the front of her scalp too. Anyone seen this before?

Is this cradle cap?

Should add DD is well in herself so speaking to HV to see if we should see GP

Yes a couple of mine had it and I think it's an extension of cradle cap.
I just gently soaked it off over time with warm water and cotton wool.
Just don't pick it off- tempting as it is Blush

DS had exactly the same and GP said it was cradle cap. I rubbed olive oil on it and then gave him a bath. I was then able to wipe it off and it hasn't come back since. This was 2 weeks ago.
