What is CRADLE CRAP ?
Cradle crap is a condition in which greasy surface scales appear on the scalp. Cradle crap does not doom your infant to a lifetime of dandruff. Mild cradle crap often responds well to a brisk massage with mineral oil or petroleum jelly to loosen scales followed by a thorough shampoo to remove them and the oil. Tough cases in which the flaking is heavy and/or brownish patches and yellow crustinoes are present, may benefit from a daily use of anti-seborrheic shampoo.
