Cradle cap, what should i do to clear it up?

Olive oil: A soak with olive oil can help. If it resistant an Aspirin can be crushed and suspended in the olive oil to form a weak acid in oil which will loosen the dried sebum.

Baby oil: Apply baby oil to scalp 1/2 hour prior to shampooing and then shampoo and rinse. The scales should loosen and then use a soft brush to brush out the scales. Doing this for a few days should help. Depending on the age of the person, a dandruff shampoo might be used (not for a baby). If not improving, please see your doctor (or your child’s doctor).
