It seems the easiest! I'm scared to brush it out even with oil bc I dont want her hair to fall out! She only has like 5 strands, we must conserve:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900734 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:33:02 +0000 MsLipGloss 900734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: That's exactly what we did to get rid of LO's cradle cap (she had a few patches as a newborn). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900667 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:19:09 +0000 matador84 900667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds has super flaky scalp...just dry skin. We just use a pea size drop of dandruff shampoo in the bath and it clears it right up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900662 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:17:30 +0000 HLK208 900662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to tell - E's was whitish but I used baby oil on her scalp and brushed for awhile before baths and it seemed to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900622 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:07:19 +0000 PinkElephant 900622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had some dry skin patches a shade or two darker than her scalp that looked like freckles...I also assumed it was cradle cap. I gently scraped it off with a comb in the bath because it wasn't falling off on its own. It looked pretty similar to this picture, and after I removed it, it didn't come back. HTH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900602 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:03:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 900602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't really see it in your pictures but it's definitely possible to get a little patch of cradle cap. LO gets just a tiny bit on her hairline. I rubbed coconut oil on it, let it sit for a few minutes then kind of massage it with a soft bristle brush then shampoo and it goes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900589 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 08:59:08 +0000 petunia354 900589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to tell from the picture but it might be! Owen had cradle cap and it manifested in thick little scales of dry skin on his head. The scales were just a shade or 2 darker than his scalp. We used Mustela cream with some success but I think it just eventually cleared up on it's own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-patch-of-cradle-cap#post-900574 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 08:55:32 +0000 PrincessBaby 900574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H has had this small patch of what looks like dry skin (it's a light brown color) and her hair is kind of matted into it. I tried messing with it a long time ago and some of the hair came out so I've left it alone. It's never really been noticeable. But lately her hair has gotten a LOT lighter and it's more visible since she's such a little blondie... Is this a touch of cradle cap? The images on google were totally horrendous so I dont know if that's what she has or not... </p> [attach=1247/13/mpbaol.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=1247/13/mpbaon.448x600.image.jpg]
