You can use breastmilk too. My daughter had it and I used coconut oil I let it sit for a while then scrubbed it lightly in the bath and rinsed it out then left some in over night and I never had to treat it again after that.

@arivera64, okay great to know! thanks

Answer

It's dry because the oil crusts over leaving a white to yellow layer of flakes. Using oil may help you scrape some of the crust off and make the scalp look nicer, but you will find yourself continuing this routine for a very long time because it's not a great remedy.

Organic coconut oil. I use mustela brand foaming shampoo for cradle cap and it took it away in two days just comb it out after

@arivera64, oh! good to know I thought it was because her scalp was dry.

Answer

Oil is not a good remedy. cradle cap is caused by overactive oul glands on the scalp. Using oil makes it worse. Buy a cradle cap shampoo
