After two to three months of the birth of a baby, very often something scaly, crusty and oily occurs on her head. The areas that it generally occurs are the side of the ears and the eyelids. Of course, it can occur in other areas of the head and even in other parts of the body. This neonatal disease is known as cradle cap. Unlike any other diseases common to the babies, it is not harmful and sometimes vanishes without any treatment.

The most common treatment for cradle cap is the use of shampoo on the affected area and to wash it away clearly. Usage of oil is also another frequently used method of treating the skin condition. However, it is recommended that the separate treatment should be used for curing the disease in separate places. This specific treatment remains better and more effective. It is also not difficult to treat the skin condition on area basis.

When cradle cap occurs near the eyelids, it is advised to use shampoo to cure it. But parents should be careful about the fact that they are using mild shampoo for this purpose. A few drops of shampoo can be diluted to some water and used to wash the place. There is no hard and fast rule with regard to the dilution proportion. It may be a few drops or half cup or even a fifty/fifty mixture.

When cradle cap occurs in other parts of the body, it can be cured with oil. Any kind of oil, both vegetable and chemical can be used in good proportion on the affected area and then left for some hours. After a few hours, the greasy scales can be brushed away with something soft. It may be a little risky to brush away the scales. So, parents should be careful while applying this method.

A neonate is pampered so much that any small spot in her body becomes a matter of worry to her parents and relatives. Keeping this fact in mind, it can easily be realised how highly they will be worried about cradle cap in the body of their little, cute object of attraction. However, it is simply a skin condition and in most of the cases, does not cause any harm to the baby.

In spite of this, parents worry about cradle cap in the body of their newborn baby and want to do something for it. Though it is not necessary to be overactive about, it is also not recommendable to leave it its own place. Ignoring this neonatal disease may cause harm to the baby. If anything else does not happen, the affected area may become hard and take an unhealthy look that no parents would like to happen.

In addition to this, cradle cap can spread over to the other parts of the body. Generally it appears on the head or the surroundings of the ears. There is no strong likelihood that it may get infectious and contaminate others; yet, there remains the chance of it being spread over some other parts of the body. So, to prevent it from affecting the other areas of the body, it is necessary to take some precautions.

Cradle cap gets cured in course of time. Generally, the ailment vanishes within a few months. Sometimes, it may take as long as two years. Yet, a little care or some precautions is necessary to keep it under control. Dermatologists are not unanimous about the remedy of the skin condition. If some suggest the usage of mild shampoo others opine that applying home made paste of natural herbs can be of help. In any case, it is better to be cautious and take steps as and when necessary.

The appearance of a scaly crust on the scalp of the baby can be worrisome for many parents. In fact, they need not, because it is a harmless skin condition that may appear at the age of two months and disappear latest by two years. And another matter of fact is that if you take just a little care of the baby, it would disappear very quickly. It is treatable totally within a few weeks.

If cradle cap symptoms spread out towards other parts of the face, it is then referred to as seborrheic dermatitis. If it is not taken care of well, it may eventually lead to indications of atopic dermatitis. This is the time when you seriously need to consult a dermatologist.

But let us, at first, recognise the symptoms of cradle cap and possible causes. Although no one is really certain about the cause of this skin condition, it is attributed to the over activity of the sebaceous glands and thereby secretion of excessive oil by these glands. This causes inability of the skin cells in the infant to shed properly. And this is why there is this dandruff-like flaky thick yellow waxy crust formation on the skin.

Although there is no danger in that this skin condition is not contagious in form, parents need to exercise care and caution. The treatment for cradle cap is easy enough. Mild shampooing, and especially so, before bedtime for the baby works well. The shampoo helps to soften and loosen the scales, and the flakes can then be combed off with a soft brush in the morning.

If shampooing even with medicated shampoos such as those containing salicylic acids, selenium sulfide and zinc pyrithione is effective enough to treat cradle cap in your baby, it may be advisable to apply herbal creams such as Clearskin-E Cream or else as per the prescription of your dermatologist, steroid lotions may have to be used.

While a single spot or scar on the body of a baby makes her parents worried, a rather ugly mark on a relatively larger area of the body is sure to make them concerned. The worst part is that it generally occurs on the head of the baby. It is cradle cap that is talked about here. It is a neonatal disease and the spot looks somehow crusty and greasy. Though not infectious, it has all the chance to spread to the other parts of the body.

Hence, it is highly advisable to be careful about it but in no way it is necessary to be worried about it. Parents cannot but get concerned about any neonatal disease thinking that it irritates the baby or cause her pain. The usual cry of the baby is taken as a result of the pain caused by the disease. However, there is nothing painful about cradle cap. It is not irritating also.

Since it is a harmless disease and does not disturb the baby in any serious way, it is necessary for parents to manage the disease well rather than trying to cure it. There is no hard and fast rule laid down by the specialists as to how to manage it well. There are lotions made by commercial agencies. These lotions can be used to keep the disease well under control. Or other homely methods can be applied.

Cradle cap can be managed properly by using shampoo. A few drops of mild shampoo can be mixed with some water used to wash the affected area. The scales will drop off and the spot will look good. Vegetable or mineral oils also can be used on the spot and the oily scales then be brushed away. Pastes made from natural herbs may also be another good means of managing cradle cap.

The skin condition like cradle cap is a matter of worry for the parents but the fact tells that it is harmless for the baby. This skin condition is not severe and does not have a medicinal cure. It will be recovered with gentle care of the baby. The baby skin is very soft and the occurrence of cradle cap is atop the head and sometimes even over the eyebrow. This skin condition occurs when the sebaceous glands does not allow the dead skin to release.

This skin accumulates as scales and appears as yellowish, patchy, oily and greasy. As soon as the glands start working properly, this condition heals. This seborrheic dermatitis is infantile or neonatal condition occurring within six months of the birth. The infant has to be treated with mild baby cosmetics like baby shampoo. The soft skin of the infant has to be applied with mild products. The cradle cap is more concentrated in the area with more sebaceous glands. This condition is also not an allergy if not a disease.

The cradle cap is healable with baby’s own body functioning. Till the time the baby gets to heal, an all through care is needed. Local application of baby oil or mineral oil on the affected patches helps in loosening the scales. The scales can then be washed with mild baby shampoo. The wet skull of the baby requires cotton swab to mop it. The dry scales can be brushed with a soft brush. This procedure removes the dry scales from the baby’s head.

Make it a routine procedure, as maintaining the hygiene and softness of the baby skin is necessary. This will keep the skin of the infant healthy. Do not apply anything that irritates the child on skin and use lukewarm water in winters. The cradle cap is a solvable health issue, which needs proper and diligent care.

Addam asked:


Otherwise known as seborrheic dermatitis, cradle cap is a neonatal disease commonly found among the babies of two to three months of age. It has been given some other names like crusta lactea, milk crust, honeycomb disease etc. The area that the disease affects becomes yellowish, patchy, greasy, and scaly. It generally occurs on the scalp of a newborn baby.

Places like the nearest side of ear, the eyebrows and the eyelids are the commonest among the areas where this skin condition occurs. However, it may occur in other parts of the body as well. In this case, it is known more as seborrheic dermatitis than as cradle cap. In most of the cases, the disease is rather mild; in rare cases it can be severe.

The exact reason behind cradle cap has not been defined properly. This is probably because the disease is harmless and do not irritate the baby in any way. So, it is not thought to be necessary to make extensive research on its cause. Moreover, the disease disappears within a few years, two to three years, even without any serious treatment.

Yet, research made on the real cause behind cradle cap has come out with various consequences with the result that dermatologists are not unanimous on this issue. Some of them opine that the disease is caused by over active sebaceous glands in the skin of the baby. These glands are passed to the baby from her mother and remain active in the baby’s circulation.

There are other dermatologists who opine that cradle cap has something to do with skin yeasts known as Malasezia furfur. A third group of specialists believe that the skin condition occurs due to immature digestive system of the baby. The digestive system of a newborn cannot absorb sufficient biotin and other vitamins of the B-complex; hence the disease occurs.

Addam asked:


One of the many neonatal diseases that occur a few days or months after the birth of the baby is cradle cap. It is a different type of disease as it does not cause any harm to the baby. It also does not irritate the baby. This, however, does not mean that the skin condition should be left alone without paying any attention. Rather, it should be taken care of well so that it remains well within control.

The main aim of the parents who have babies suffering from cradle cap should be to manage it well. Since it is a harmless disease and generally vanishes within a few months or years, no serious medical treatment is required for it. So, parents should take care of the fact that the disease is not taking any ugly turn. This can be done very easily without undertaking any rigorous treatment process.

There are so many ways of managing cradle cap. Oil can be a good choice. Any kind of oil, vegetable or chemical can be used profusely on the affected area and left overnight. It is not necessary that the oil should be used only at night. It can be used at any convenient time and left for some hours. When the scales become enough oily, something soft can be used to brush them away. But this must be done with utmost care without disturbing the affected area.

In order to keep cradle cap within control, shampoo is also made use of. A good proportion of shampoo and water is used to wash off the scales thereby to keep the area clean. Paste made of homely herbs is yet another treatment for the disease. However, cradle cap can be managed without taking any trouble by using the commercial lotions. A lot of companies are there that make lotions to be used for this purpose.
