Cradle cap, also known as infantile seborrheic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that affects infants. It is characterized by crusty, greasy, yellow or brown scales on the scalp.
The exact cause of cradle cap is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by an overproduction of oil glands in the skin, which can lead to the buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria.
Babies with cradle cap typically have scaly, crusty patches on their scalp, often accompanied by redness and inflammation. They may also experience hair loss in the affected areas.
Mild cases of cradle cap can be treated with regular gentle washing and brushing of the scalp. For more severe cases, using a gentle baby shampoo and massaging a small amount of mineral oil onto the scalp can help loosen and remove the scales. In some cases, a medicated shampoo or cream may be recommended by a pediatrician.
Cradle cap is not harmful and does not cause any discomfort or itching for babies. It is a common and temporary condition that usually resolves on its own within a few months.
