Question

His skin has been flakey but it got way worse on his scalp while giving him a bath today

Answer

cradle cap. if you put some coconut oil on it about 20 minutes before bath time, then wash it off with baby shampoo and a hairbrush, it should get better. 
SHOULD. my daughter has had this since she was born, and it's not bad, you can hardly see it-- but I CANNOT get it to go away. ugh. I've given up. lol

Answer

don’t be scared to put oil on it or a & d ointment and scrape with your nail or a toothbrush and it’ll come off within a month, maybe even sooner. my daughter had it for a couple months, it will go away. 
you can also get a medication for it i believe but i just used oil to soften it.

Answer

It's called cradle cap. Totally normal & extremely common with newborns. When you wash his hair, use one of those super soft baby brushes to VERY lightly exfoliate his scalp each time. & believe it or not, the more you wash his hair, the sooner it heals. But, in the majority of cases it does take a few months. Nothing to stress over though; unless his skin begins to crack/bleed/ooze, you have no need to stress.
