Cradle cap?

My baby had some cradle cap and some spots of what look like dry skin, I've used coconut oil and a baby brush as well as dentinox which seems to have cleared up the cradle cap but the spots remain, the HV says it's just dried skin but I can't seem to get them to clear up, any advice?

My LO was like this. I covered her head with Vaseline overnight and it was gone in the morning

It's just little flakes of dry skin and oil. You can just leave it - it's harmless, isn't hurting your baby, and will come off on its own.

I used to love picking at cradle cap. What cleared it for Dts was when we went on holiday for two weeks and I smothered their heads in sun cream every day.
