The 411 On Cradle Cap

Most parents and soon-to-be-parents know that there is a whole host of issues that come with babies and young children. From diaper rash to colic and everything in between, it can be useful for parents to develop a good level of knowledge when it comes to these potential problems before they arise, so they can get rid of the issue quickly and without much fuss. So what is cradle cap? How can you treat it naturally and effectively? How can you prevent it and when is the right time to consult your pediatrician on the matter? Read ahead for tips, information, and more to help you manage cradle cap in your child.

Cradle Cap: A Recap

Cradle cap is an inflammatory condition that manifests as a scaly, greasy, and flaky rash on the top, back, and sides of a baby’s head, as well as around the ears and sometimes down the face into the eyebrows and eyelids. It can also appear in the groin area and cause hair loss in babies. However, it does not usually bother the child. It may vary in colour from whitish, yellow, and brown, and is usually hard to the touch. Cradle cap can spread and become worse, so treating it early is a good idea in order to prevent spreading and an increase in severity.
