Cradle cap
Hi, my son is 8 weeks today and he has quite bad cradle cap. I thought the best thing was to leave it alone and it would clear up but if anything it's got worse! I've bough Dentinox shampoo so going to try that. Just wondering if anyone else can offer advice?
Thanks, daffodil & Andrew 8wks xxx

my son had terrible cradle cap from 8 weeks, we used dentinox, it did work in the end but it took about 4-5 weeks to completely get rid of the cradle cap, but the cradle cap covered the top of ds's head, and i found when i had been using it for about 4 weeks, and chunks of the cradle cap were coming off, i used vaseline, massaged it in and that was fab, huge clumps came off!

if you put a tiny amount straight on the scalp and massage in for a minute, then rinse off with warm water, after a few minutes the cradle cap lifts and you can use a tiny comb or nit comb to get rid of all the dead scaley stuff! it is amazing! i used it on my brothers baby girl and revealed a full head of curly hair under months of smelly cradle cap!
I tried it and it helped a lot, although wasn't quite the one application only that she experienced.
My tip for getting rid of vaseline, was baby lotion on damp cotton wool, seemed to work for us.
