Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There is not much reason to worry at this moment. Patch dandruff are commonly observed in patients with cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis, or seborrhea . If such a patient comes to me in my clinic I would suggest:
1. Washing your baby's scalp daily with mild shampoo to remove the scales.
2. Apply oil and comb her hair with thin scallop.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you and your baby good health.
