It's not yellow and flaky but is just dry and hard - kinda scaly. It's not super noticeable except to us! I hate it! We covered in olive oil for 20 min then combed and washed out. It did loosen some but is still scaly. </p> <p>Should I repeat the olive oil a few more times? Is this cradle cap ? Suggestions welcome ! </p>
