Is it cradle cap? If it is, best to use olive oil that you can buy off the shelf at Watson or guardians. Less then $10. Apply everyday before show , massage it in for 5 to 15 mins then rise off

This is cradle cap. It's quite common in babies. The basic remedy is to apply baby oil or any other super gentle oil and brush your baby's scalp with a gentle brush.

Just out coconut oil on baby head . N eventually the cradle cap will be gone. Nothing serious. Dont worry

Best to check with your pediatrician since baby has been scratching and bleeding has happened.
