A member asked:

My 4 months baby has cradil cap. doctor recommended conaz (ketoconazole) shampoo and hydrozole cream (hydrocortisone, clotrimazole ). is this ok should i apply these ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not if cradle cap: Cradle cap is just a lay term for super dandruff, not a fungal infection requiring such drugs. Most baby shampoos do not have the chemicals needed to break up tight bonds of old skin flakes (the chems irritate the eyes) so using simple adult dandruff shampoo (avoid the eyes) will usually work. I consider the other as less likely to help unless the doc tested & found fungus.
