Baby Scalp

Question

My baby boy who&acirc;&euro;&trade;s 4.5 months old is having some scalp issue (I&acirc;&euro;&trade;m attaching the pictures) it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s been a month now I&acirc;&euro;&trade;m trying to oil his scalp because I thought it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s dryness and would go away after oiling but it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s not getting any better. Kindly let me know what it is and what should be the remedy for it or any medication? It&acirc;&euro;&trade;s just in the middle and rest of the head is fine.

It seems to be seborrheic dermatitis. Dont worry its a mild condition. You can try using antifungal scalp lotion like conaz. It can be used as a shampoo. Hopefully it will be gone soon.

This is Cradle Cap (Infantile Seborrhoeic Dermatitis). Keep managing as you are already. Will get better by 1 year of age.
