Hi Ladies
Subject says it all really! Toby has got cradle cap and it seems to be getting worse even though we are using Dentinox cradle cap shampoo every night.
I would be interested to know what other people have used and how long it took to clear up.
Thanks!

i think they usually grow out of it by a year old. When they get more hair it covers it up too! Don't forget it doesn't bother them in them in the slightest - it is just us who don't like it!
We tried everything, but in the end the combo that worked for us was washing her hair in aqueous cream, then putting more aqueous cream on her wet hair, rubbing it into her scalp and leaving it on overnight. We ditched all other shampoo's etc (inc the dentinox) and it went really quick.
Now I find it flares up if we use Johnsons shampoo - so I stick to the bodyshop buriti shampoo and it works a treat!

I also use oilatum in the bath and on the nights I don't use the dentinox (I use it still every 3 or 4 nights as a preventative measure) I just wash his hair with the bathwater and his scalp is now flake free and very soft!
I now use olive oil. I rub it onto the problem areas, leave for a while then comb out. Then at bath time shampoo as normal (but only using the tiniest amount of shampoo).
As adults we should only use a 50p sized blob of shampoo - lo's only need the tiniest amount. I'm not sure if product build up would make cradle cap worse but I'm sure it doesn't help matters.
