If you wish: This is well within the training & experience of most primary care providers be they GP or pediatrician. Common findings include simple cradle cap. seborrheic dermatitis, scalp fungus and more.

Rash : Cradle cap shouldn’t really itch. How long has it been there? Any diaper rash? I would have the pediatrician see the baby.
