Also for mild cases, just use a gentle shampoo to wash your baby's hair. You can also try massaging mineral or olive oil into the scalp and then washing it out. It's okay to next use a soft-bristled brush or your fingertips to brush out flakes, but be gentle. The more trauma you inflict to skin, the more likely the scales are to reappear, cautions
For a severe case of cradle cap, your paediatric Dermatologist may recommend that you use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo.

Please don't not apply any medication not given by a specialist.
