Cradle cap or something else?

Question

He's 12 weeks old and I know he has cradle cap on his scalp as it's the standard white flaky scales, but he's has this on his hairline, eyebrows and forehead, is this cradle cap or eczema or maybe something else? I've been using epaderm cream but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have bad eczema and his dad has psoriasis so I think my poor boy is kinda doomed to have skin problems 😩

Answer

I'm going to say eczema because of his facial skin. My son looked just the same and I thought he had cradle cap too. He had to see a dermatologist every three months for about a year and a half before he cleared up.

Answer

My baby developed this at about two weeks old and it cleared within a month. Midwife said it sometimes happens when babies skin is getting used to everything in the outside world. Once this finished he then got flaky cradle cap on just his scalp. Used vegetable oil and it was gone in about six weeks.

Answer

Cradele cap. That can be all over, usually it is in hair. Like head and eyebrows.

Answer

My daughter had it on her forehead down to her eyebrows. I think it’s cradle cap.

Answer
