Doctor can evaluate: Baby dandruff is called cradle cap in the U.S. Sometimes the doctor will recommend using Hydrocortisone for a few days, but he will want to see the child before deciding on using cortisone steroids on the scalp. Atonide is not a U.S. Drug, but websites say it is desonide, which would be stronger than the over-the-counter Hydrocortisone 1% cream.
