How To Cure The Condition Of Cradle Cap On Scalp?
my 2 year old had craddle cap when she was born...it was treated but she seems to still have it and the top of her head is severly dry but she never complains of itching and she doesn't scratch it...its weird. The dryness is only the top of her head. She did have exzcema too. What could this be?

Cradle cap is absolutly normal phenomenon so no need to worry.
Some of the treatment options are
1.message scalp with fingers or soft brush.
2. Use olive oil or almond oil to loosen the flakes which then can be removed with soft brush.
Can griseofulvin tab. Can be tried.
Candid lotion at night for local application.
