CRADLE CAP

CRADLE CAP

SEBORRHOEIC DERMATITIS is a common, non-infectious skin rash that usually affects the scalp, eyebrows, either side of the nose, and the chest. It is often scaly and has a red/orange appearance. It can be itchy. Young children can get it on their scalp and face and in their neck folds, armpits and nappy area. It is very common for young babies to have this condition on their scalp. This is known as CRADLE CAP. Bathing with bath oil and using skin softening creams and medicated shampoos can treat babies. Adults can use medicated shampoos and steroid creams. It usually clears up quite quickly in babies but can keep coming back in adults.
