A member asked:
I used olive oil and combed rather hard to remove my 6 mo baby's cradle cap. now at 3 yo, she has thin hair. did i pull out hair that won't regrow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The treatment and brushing for the cradle cap didn't cause any long term damage. Hair thickness is usually quite thin in infancy and gradually thickens based on inherited genetic factors as they age.The transition is gradual and takes YEARS. Be patient.
