Research Notes on How to Get Rid of Cradle Cap
Getting rid of cradle cap typically involves simple steps and time. Regularly washing the hair with mild baby shampoo, followed by soft brushing may be helpful in removing the scales. Some people use a little baby oil or petroleum jelly to soften the scales. In some cases, cradle cap may resolve itself in a few weeks. Other cases may last six to nine months or longer. A doctor may prescribe a medicated shampoo for a persistent case of cradle cap.1
