A member asked:

My baby is 5months old she is suffering with atopy on scalp. how can we cure it naturally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you mean dry skin: If you mean cradle cap or dry skin, oiling daily with hair washing twice a week usually with a shampoo such as t gel controls the situation. Total cure unlikely, but this limits recurrences.
