What Is Cradle Cap?
Cradle cap, also known as infant seborrheic dermatitis, is a common and harmless scalp condition in babies. It appears as yellowish, oily or dry flakes on the scalp and sometimes around the eyebrows or hairline.
While it isn’t painful or contagious, parents often look for gentle cradle cap treatments to help remove scales and improve the appearance of the scalp.
How to treat cradle cap gently?
The key to managing cradle cap is softening and loosening flakes without irritating delicate baby skin.
A gentle cradle cap routine may include:
- Applying a targeted cradle cap cream to soften scales
- Gently massaging the scalp to loosen flakes
- Washing with a mild baby shampoo
- Repeating regularly until the scalp clears
Consistency and gentle care help support the scalp’s natural balance.
