Baby’s soft spot

I saw someone posted on here the other day about cradle cap and that a few of the comments said to use coconut oil and leave it a few hours etc, my little one has cradle cap awfully so I tried the coconut oil and left it a good few hours then used a baby comb to gently get it out, I kept feeling the soft spot to make sure I wasn’t going over it too rough and I was super gentle there but obviously defeated the purpose of going over it soft with the comb by feeling it the whole time, must have done it a good few times and a bit worried I’ve touched it too much now and would that cause any damage? Think my mind if making it out to be worse and I keep thinking I’ve pressed too hard I never would but because I’m panicking think I’m making it out to be worse, having a bit of a panic and thinking maybe I’ve hurt her or caused damage to the brain maybe? TIA.

Highly doubtful if you were just combing the hair, you'd have to be pressing quite hard to have caused any damage ❤️

You absolutely won’t have caused damage by going over it gently. You have to poke hard downwards into the gap to cause harm.
