Cradle cap

Is this cradle cap? I've been using mustela cradle cap cream and shampoo. It comes back with vengence the next morning. Is there any other product that has shown better results

It looks like it yeah, I use a brand called Koko I’m sure it’s in a purple tub it’s a coconut oil works a treat

Thanks. My baby is allergic to coconut oil oil. He has very sensitive skin. Any other recommendations?

Dentinox worked well with my first. You can also try baby oil and a comb

I read to use baby oil and a soft baby hair brush.. it works and has removed loads of my babies cradle cap! Brush in circular movements and it all becomes loose x

Which brand of baby oil did you use?

With my first Mustela destroyed his skin, so I would really stop using anything they produced. Dentinox dried my little girl skin too. Sweet almond oil or pure coconut oil really work for us, with a soft comb like others said. But whatever you use, do a patch test first. Oil + E45 on top, or any other emollient if the oil only doesn't work. Use a soap free and fragrance free shampoo too like QV baby, Good luck

Also Apply oil on damp skin/hair

@Shona second that! Works wonders

I used Johnson’s baby oil and a soft bristle baby brush to gently comb it through the hair, either straight away or let it soak overnight and brush first thing in the morning. Baby’s bed sheets may get a little oil on so be prepared to change them!

For washing I used infacare baby bath shampoo ultra mild. After bath time or on damp hair apply (Samaritan) olive oil, rub in circular motion and use a cradle cap comb to remove the flakes from hair. Worked for both my babies. Hope this helps
