Seborrhea: Babies can get "cradle cap" on their scalp and scaly areas on and behind their ears. It usually resolves on its own, but you can apply some Hydrocortisone 0.5% ointment or cream to his ears (and behind them) 2-3 times per day for a week to calm it down. Clean "cradle cap" with a mild shampoo and soft brush to break up the scaly areas. Call your doctor if not better.
