Cradle cap can be described as infantile seborrhoeic dermatitis and it happens because of the hormonal disorder in sebaceous glands which make it hyper active and allows it to pass through placenta to the baby during pregnancy. This leads to the growth of skin cells on baby’s head. However, contrary to the widely held public opinion it is not a serious illness at all.
The best treatment for cradle cap is to apply baby oil to the affected area and washing with a baby shampoo. It must also be added here that cradle cap improves with time all that is required is following doctor’s advice and not loosing patience. Cradle cap, like any other illness, is just an illness and, therefore, requires a calm methodical approach to it. Panicking would only worsen the situation. People should, however, be careful that at no point they use force to remove it for it can lead to further complication, thereby, worsening of situation. Rather than doing all this people would be far better if they heed to doctor’s advice and follow his medication. This will lead to sure shot improvement in the situation.
