Cradle Cap: What I Find Risky!

informed about the effectiveness of homely remedies for treating cradle cap, I tried them and found them somehow risky. Commercial lotions are free from it.

Very often it is said that the neonatal disease known as cradle cap can be managed well with homely remedies. In fact, it is a skin condition and largely harmless. It is not caused by any infection and there is no chance that it would contaminate others. Yet, I do not prefer using the homely remedies. They may cure the disease but always not above risk.

Rather, I find it better and safer to use commercial lotions to manage cradle cap well. These lotions are made as per the suggestion of the specialists and exclusively meant for the disease. Hence, they will be helpful in managing cradle cap but will not cause any harmful reaction. Unlike the homely remedies, there is no risk involved in using these lotions.

Cradle Cap: Easily Curable Skin Condition


Cradle Cap: Easily Curable Skin Condition

While extensive research is made on critical and chronic diseases, very less importance is given on the ailments that are harmless and does not require any serious treatment. Take cradle cap for example, it is a childhood disease, generally found among the newborn babies. It is marked by scaly, greasy skin rashes that appear automatically in course of time.


As it is not harmless and vanishes without any treatment, no extensive research has been made on its causes. After going through a lot of write-ups penned by some authoritative persons, I could come to know that it is not necessary to be enthusiastic about the cause of cradle cap as it can be kept well within control very easily. Along with the lotions made by commercial agencies, there are homely remedies for the disease.
