Solutions & treatments
Cradle cap corresponds to those yellow greasy, scaly patches appearing on your baby's scalp. Prevalent skin condition, harmless and pain-free, you have no reason to worry. A simple skincare cleansing routine is necessary to restore the healthy scalp of your child.
During the first weeks & months of life, some babies keep their mother's hormones. Then, their glands, more active than usual, are producing more sebum. The consequence of this sebum excess is that dead cells stick to the scalp when it should dry up and fall off.
You can detect yourself Cradle cap in your newborn by four symptoms:
Cradle cap starts on the scalp but can spread until behind the ears.
