Is cradle cap caused by poor hygiene?
No. Although it is unattractive, cradle cap is the result of an excessive secretion of sebum and proliferation of a micro- organism Malassezia Furfur, present on the skin. Its onset may be restricted by using an ultra-gentle shampoo with a regulating action, such as Mustela Foam Shampoo for Newborns. In case of persistence, consult your health professional for any specific diagnosis.
