If the cradle cap on your baby's scalp does not cause any problems for your baby, there is no need to take any special measures to treat it. However, if parents feel that the baby's cradle cap is unsightly or there is too much cradle cap, and the baby feels itchy, then they can wash the baby's hair more often, or gently brush the baby's scalp with a soft towel.

Apply oil

Over time, some cradle caps on the baby's scalp will become very hard and thick, making them difficult to remove. At this time, parents can try to use oil to deal with these stubborn cradle caps, such as peanut oil, sesame oil or olive oil. Mom and dad only need to apply a little oil to the baby's scalp, wait for 15 minutes, and then use a fine-tooth comb or a soft-bristled comb to gently comb off the softened cradle cap. But please note that when removing baby's cradle cap, you must be gentle and not use too much force, otherwise it will cause damage to the baby's skin.

Note:

In order to avoid the cradle cap that is not cleaned cleanly from clogging the pores on the scalp and causing scabs to stick together. After removing the cradle cap from the baby's scalp, parents must use mild baby shampoo to wash the baby's hair. When washing your baby's hair, use shampoo to gently rub the cradle cap on the baby's scalp for a few minutes, and then wash it with clean water. This will remove the cradle cap more thoroughly. In addition, it should be noted that the baby's hair should not be washed too frequently, otherwise it will further stimulate the baby's oil glands to secrete oil.

After all, the body resistance of a newborn baby is not that strong. Therefore, mothers must not wash the baby's hair frequently, and be sure to apply oil to the baby after washing the hair, so as to protect the baby's skin.
