What Helps Cradle Cap?

Massaging Away Cradle Cap

Cradle cap, also known as infantile seborrheic dermatitis, is an inflammatory skin condition. It can affect not only the scalp, but also behind the ears, forehead, arm pits, groin and eyebrows. A gentle massage with almond or olive oil, which you leave on the baby's scalp overnight, can help ease the problem. In the morning, gently comb loosened flakes out with a fine-toothed comb and then shampoo the oil out.
