Cradle Cap in Eyebrow?

Question

My seven week old has cradle cap in her eyebrow.  I was treating it on her head with baby oil and a scrubby brush at bath time, but obviously I'm not comfortable doing that around her eye.  I'm reaching out to her pediatrician, but in the meantime I'm interested in everyone's recommendations.  Anyone have anything similar or know what to do?

Answer

Just leave it alone. It’s completely harmless, and possibly even protective. They’re skin oils and nothing to be scrubbing at. Honestly think it does more harm than good by scrubbing at it like that.

Answer

Cradle cap is nothing you need to do anything about. It’s harmless and it doesn’t bother babies but if you would like you can use a light layer of coconut oil on her eyebrows and use a silicon brush or a soft toothbrush to rub into the skin. This helped with my daughters cradle cap that she had around her eyebrows as well .

Answer

I’d probably just leave it alone but if you’re worried about the scaley flakes falling into baby’s eyes or something you could probably gently brush it out with a soft bristled child’s toothbrush
