my daughter has cradle cap on her scalp since she was small, was unable to get rid of it as the hair seem to come off together. will this go away eventually on its own? shes already 3.

You don't really need to do anything, but if it bothers you, here are some things to try: 1. Gently massage your baby's scalp with your fingers or a soft brush to loosen the scales. 2. Shampoo more frequently (up to once a day), but be sure to rinse out all the soap or shampoo. After shampooing, gently brush your baby's scalp with a soft brush or a terrycloth towel. 3. Some parents have had success using baby shampoos developed especially for cradle cap. If your baby has a stubborn case of cradle cap, an oil remedy might help to loosen dry flakes: Rub a small amount of a pure, natural oil – such as almond or olive oil – on your baby's scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Gently comb out the flakes with a fine-tooth comb or brush them out with a soft brush. Wash your baby's scalp with a gentle baby shampoo. The last thing you want to do is leave oil on your baby's head, which could clog the pores and cause the flakes to stick. Try leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes before rinsing, to help cut the oil.
