Cradle cap seborrheic dermatitis??? I’m not convinced

Question

My girl is 5 weeks old. Our pedi said this is seborrheic derm/cradle cap. Has anyone had experience with this?

Answer

It’s exactly what it looks like. Did they give you a cream or recommendation?

Answer

Hi my son had the same thing at 6 weeks old. Looked just like your picture. I am a neonate nurse and I have seen parents use the Derma Frida or the Mustela cradle cap treatment along with the little brush from Derma Frida. You can find it in Amazon. I used the Mustela brand and it worked like magic it went away after 2 days. Hope this tip helps!

Answer

Yes, that’s what it is. Typically clears up on its own. My kid had terrible baby acne for about 8 weeks. He also had pretty persistent cradle cap for a couple of years, honestly. It took a while to fully go away.
