Can Recurrence Of Cradle Cap Be Treated With Coconut Oil?
My son is 3 months old. when he was 2 months he developed a bad case of cradle cap. we used to apply coconut oil on scalp. Leave it for 15 minutes and then brush his hair lightly. After this we shampoo his hair with Himalaya baby shampoo then again brush his hair.The cradle cap dissapeared but recently has again started showing up. Also he keeps itching his head a lot and pilling his hair especially behind ears. Sometimes he gets very irritated and starts crying also. Please advise
Hi dear, I understand your concern. Irritation can be sign of Calcium and Vit D insufficienty. Coconut oil can be used,then comb her hair.Try to give her Vitamin D 400-500UI daily and Calcium. Hope it helps
