If it is serious, you may consult a doc and ask for olive oil (for cradle cap) and do a test patch and see if there is any allergic reactions before applying it on the affected areas. Once the cradle cap is soften, you may wash it off with a wash cloth and shampoo. It should go away bit by bit.

It’ll go off by itself; however, you can speed it up by applying oil at least 10 mins before your baby showers. Then, you may use a soft brush to remove the flakes. There’s also a cradle cap shampoo Dentinox.

After showering your LO, you can try to apply a little baby oil on his head. Don't apply too much, in case its too oily for scalp. But anyway, it will subside as they grow.

If should go off by itself but check with PD if something u are concerned about

Will go off on its own. If not you can also apply olive oil.

Olive oil or coconut oil. Then gently comb off

Coconut oil definitely helps

Should go off by itself
