My 3 mo old son has cradle cap. Tried baby oil, brush and shampooing. Keeps coming back. what else can I do?
The flakes would be less that day but it would just come back the next day. I also don't know if the little pimples on his scalp means it's inflamed and would need to see his doctor.My 3 mo old son has cradle cap. Tried baby oil, brush and shampooing. Keeps coming back. what else can I do?
*raising hand* My daughter still has ';cradle cap'; aka dandruff. ;-P I highly recommend gentle naturals cradle cap treatment. Worked SOOO freaking well. I would bet the little pimples are clogged pores from the oils.
GL!My 3 mo old son has cradle cap. Tried baby oil, brush and shampooing. Keeps coming back. what else can I do?
My son had a really bad cradle cap. My monther-in-law said it was the worst she has ever seen. I tried many things, but nothing helped. The cradle cap eventually went away. It took about two months. The only consistent thing we did was to wash his hair every second night and scraped it a little bit.
It can be fungal. You can either use a small amount of antifungal shampoo (such as head and shoulders) or more natural remedies such as mild vinegar or lemon solution, or grapefruit seed extract.
If your baby is formula fed you might consider adding probiotics to the formula. If you are breastfeeding and you take probiotics they will appear in your milk, because of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding it is not better to give the baby probiotics separately until they start non-breastmilk foods.
If you are breastfeeding and a vegetarian you may need some extra B vitamins, though among vegetarians and vegans it is controversial as to whether a vegetarian or vegan diet is really lacking in B vitamins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_cap
Causes
The cause of cradle cap is not clearly defined but it is not caused by an infection, allergy nor from poor hygiene. Possibly it has to do with overactive sebaceous glands in the skin of newborn babies, due to the mother's hormones still in the baby's circulation. The glands release a greasy substance that makes old skin cells attach to the scalp as they try to dry and fall off. There may be a relationship with skin yeasts (Pityrosporum ovale, newly renamed Malassezia furfur). Nutritionally oriented practitioners have speculated that the disorder is caused by the baby's immature digestive system being unable to absorb sufficient biotin and other vitamins of the B-complex.
Warning signs
Home remedies are appropriate with mild cases. If the condition thickens, turns red and irritated, starts spreading, appears on other body parts, or if the baby develops a persistent diaper rash, medical intervention is recommended. Fungal infection (tinea capitis) and scabies can mimic cradle cap.
Cradle cap is occasionally linked to immune disorders. If the baby is not thriving and has other problems (e.g. diarrhoea), consult a doctor.
Treatment
[edit] Scalp, behind ears, eyebrows
The common advice of applying (vegetable or mineral) oil liberally to the scalp and letting it soak in overnight or for lesser periods of time seems to conflict with the fact that Malassezia yeasts thrive in oily environments. If the cradle cap is not severe, you may try to comb it out gently after bathing. The softened scales can then be brushed away with a soft brush, comb or cloth, but if not done very gently, this can worsen the condition and bring about temporary hair loss. There has been no study done on these recommendations.
Applying petroleum jelly (e.g., Vaseline) liberally overnight is another popular treatment. The softened scales either fall off during the night, or can be brushed off in the morning.
Making a paste from sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and leaving it on the affected area for 10 minutes can also help lift the scales.
There is broad disagreement regarding the role of shampoos. Some sources warn against frequent shampooing, others recommend it. Mild baby shampoo is often recommended, while never specifying what ';mild'; actually means. Baby shampoos often contain detergent surfactants, perfumes, quaternium-15 and other eczemagenic irritants. Again, no studies have been performed.
Keratolytic (dandruff) shampoos (e.g with sulfur, selenium, zinc pyrithione, or salicylic acid) are generally not recommended as they sting eyes and may worsen the dermatitis. In stubborn cases some doctors do recommend them while others warn against the use of medicated shampoos in newborns due to systemic absorption. Dandruff shampoos often contain sodium dodecyl sulfate, a noted skin irritant.[1]
Steroid and tar preparations have also been used but have significant drawbacks. Immunomodulators (tacrolimus/Protopic, pimecrolimus/Elidel) have not been approved for babies under two years.
Ketoconazole shampoos and creams are taking first place in medical treatment of moderate to serious cradle cap. Research so far indicates that this anti-fungal medication is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Ketoconazole shampoo is currently made with a number of problematic irritants and allergens.
A Swedish study[citation needed] found good results from massaging the scalp with small amounts of borage oil twice a day. # Tolleson, A., and Frithz, A. 1993. Borage oil: an effective new treatment for infantile seborrheic dermatitis. Brit. J. Dermatol. 129:95.
Other home remedies recommended in various alternative sources and parent forums are herbal washes (e.g burdock or chamomile), aloe gel, and tea tree oil (Melaleuca oil) shampoo. Tea tree oil and aloe can be sensitizers; any worsening should be an occasion to discontinue the remedy in question. Both remedies have been tested in medical trials and found useful.[citation needed]
Mustella makes a great shampoo wash for craddle cap, I know they have it at Babies-R-Us and Land of Nod.
rub petroleum jelly on it and put him on a hat. It worked for my child.
My son had cradle cap, I put baby oil, brushed it, and used special shampoo etc but this just seemed to aggravate it, baby oil is actually really bad to put on their scalp, so I tried olive oil and stopped washing his scalp and it cleared up within days, I know its not that simple for everyone but it seemed the more I messed with it the worse it got
You might just have to give it time. Have you ever seen a toddler with cradle cap? It always goes away eventually.
You can use head and shoulder's. A little bit goes a long way.
My daughter had it and her doctor said to use that and it will go away. And it did and it never came back.
Good luck to you.
My daughter still has it shes almost 9 months Ive done the whole oil brush thing also and it will lighten a bit then just come back I figure screw it LOL it will eventually go away its not like its hurting her.ink refills

How do i unclog a bath tub it has a plastic shampoo cap?
My son drop a shampoo cap in the tubHow do i unclog a bath tub it has a plastic shampoo cap?
Try a shop vac.How do i unclog a bath tub it has a plastic shampoo cap?
Try using needle nose pliers to retrieve the cap, they are long, thin pliers that can reach into tight spaces. If you don't have that you can also wait until the cap dries - water will affect this method - roll a piece of tape onto itself so it is double-sided. Take a wire hangar and straighten it out, put an ';L'; shape bend at one end, attach the tape to that end (so that it has a larger surface are to adhere to) and see if you can push the wire onto the cap to stick to it and retrieve it that way (use can try gum too if you wish).
Try using the hose of your vacuum cleaner to get it - use the narrowest attachment you have to create the greatest suction power from it. Do you have a shop vac or can you borrow one? Those are stronger than household vacuums.
Don't force the cap into the drain - it may become lodged somewhere in your pipes, hair, etc. can get clogged behind it, creating a much bigger problem.

My son has very severe cradle cap still.. his doctor has given him a medicated shampoo. Anyone else?
it's been 2 weeks and it got better, but it's starting to come back slow...My son has very severe cradle cap still.. his doctor has given him a medicated shampoo. Anyone else?
dont stress. it will eventually go away.
my son had the worst case I have ever seen, we called it cradle crap. I would put the oil on his head and take out scabs of it with a comb.
He is 19 now and cradle crap free, well ..he is 6'3'; so I assue its gone, I cant see the top of head anymore!My son has very severe cradle cap still.. his doctor has given him a medicated shampoo. Anyone else?
Baby Naturals makes a cradel cap shampoo that I used on my son. I used it everyday until the cradel cap was gone, and then for 2 days afterwards. After that, he never had cradle cap again. Once the cradle cap is gone, try rubbing some olive oil on his head to keep the skin there soft and moist. It shoudl keep the cradle cap from coming back, but make the skin soft enough to scrape off if it does come back.
Baby Naturals comes in a green bottle.
Try olive oil over night and see how it goes. It does go eventually - depends how old your son is and whether he has any other skin problems as it may not be that if he has other problems.
I asked my mom when my daughter had it (severely) and she said she put baby oil and used a comb.
So thats what I did and there was not a problem after that .
(I know it kind of made me want to puke all that stuff)
So I agree with the above...
BABY OIL!
I only had this problem with my oldest child, and I used the medicated shampoo. I also used a baby toothbrush to gently scrub the scalp, and it worked really well.
Good Luck - I know it's worrisome.
Start washing it more often. Daily is best.
Only one of my boys had this issue. I have three boys and two girls (12-2). He is now 6 and is beautiful! I used the baby oil, like many others said. I put it on his head just before bed when he was about 3-4 months old. Just enough to make his head wet, but not dripping. I left it on over night, as suggested to me, mind you, my first child didn't have this so I wasn't really sure what to expect. In the morning I took a baby comb and brushed through his hair. I was ';SHOCKED';, to say the least, when every single piece of his hair fell out while I combed it. I cried and cried. However, I must say, after all that, it never came back!! I hated what it did, but for me, I'd do it again, His hair grew back so nice and soft, and it grew in fast. I know this might not be every-ones' idea of a good thing, but knowing it wasn't bothering him (itching) anymore made it all worth it for me - and he was too young to care!.
You should use a soft baby brush and brush your baby's head while you nurse to help pass the time.
None of my babies had cradle cap, thrush, or the host of other maladies that I hear about babies. I must have been blessed, or babies are just plain sicker nowadays.
I USE TO PUT BABY OIL ON THE BABY'S HEAD AND TAKE A BABY COMB AND GET IT OUT, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS MANY TIMES, TRY TO KEEP SOME BABY OIL ON THE BABY'S HEAD, AND IT WOULDN'T BE SO HARD THE NEXT TIME IT COMES BACK. IF YOU WASH THE BABY'S HEAD EVERYDAY, THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN,
my little girl is 2 1/2 yrs she still gets it once in awhile. rub olive or any kind of kitchen oil on his head an hour or so before bath time, then gently wash it out with a soft brush, then always when you bath him just brush his hair and always keep his head clean.. it is not serious or contagious , so i wouldnt worry abou it
Try gently applying cooking oil to your babys scalp, avoid any that are derived fron nuts, esp. peanut, avoiding any potential bad reaction to nuts....massage it into the affected areas, leave it on overnight and gently scrape at the cradle cap with your finger nail the following day.
You can do this as often as you like, it makes the hair look yucky but it doesn't matter if you do this overnight and then bathe your baby in the morning after removing the crusts.
This was the most effective method I used with 2 of my babies.
Don't be alarmed if the scalp is a little pink for a short while after, or if a few hairs are removed along with the crusts, they will soon grow back.
I know most recommend baby oil, but that never worked for me. We battled with cradle cap for almost 3 years with my son. You can get P%26amp;S Liquid over the counter. The directions say to use it overnight but it can get messy - especially with a little one. I lathered his head up about 20 mins before bathtime, then gently scraped the scales out with a fine toothed comb and washed with head and shoulders shampoo. It only took about a week and it was gone, and never did come back. Worth a shot!!
I agree with the baby oil. Thats what we always did,(way back in 70's %26amp; 80's). Also you could call the baby's doctor and see what they think!
A doctor told me just to wash their head with dandruff shampoo. Adult shampoo, so you have to be careful not to get it in their eyes.

Take good care of your hair! It will add to your charm - who can resist a person with lovely, silky hair? So do try out the above tips! Hope these little tips have been useful! :)
Tips To Stop Hair Loss %26amp; Keep Healthy Hair Here are some hair care tips that you can use to help stop hair loss and keep your existing hair healthy and looking great. Please don't take these tips lightly. They are very important . The only thing they require is your time and commitment.
- Massage your scalp with your fingertips (not your nails) daily to stimulate and promote circulation to your scalp and reduce excess fallout. Invert your head while you shampoo %26amp; massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.
- Essential oils %26amp; tea . To stimulate scalp circulation, massage the scalp with rosemary essential oil or rinse hair with tea made from sage.
- Comb or brush your hair and scalp gently in the morning and at night. This helps break up hardened oils (sebum) that are clogging your hair follicles. Doing this alone has produced new hair growth. Do not over do combing or brushing.
- keep a distance from dryer's heat. When using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good distance from your scalp and hair. Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively. Excessive heat will increase hair loss, and excess fallout.
- Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as they will clog your hair follicles. Use a light hold spray if you must.
- After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.
- Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Good hair care over a long period really makes a difference!
- Avoid tight hats and caps as they contribute to poor circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition and stunting new hair growth. The sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle health and contribute to build-up.
- Always consult your health care provider for extreme causes of excess fallout and thinning. A medical condition or medication could be causing hair loss side-effects.
- Strive for balance and harmony in both your personal and professional lifestyle. High stress factors can cause your body to react by fluctuating hormone levels. This in turn causes excessive oil secretion (sebum) which results in hair loss.
- Pregnancy, nursing, menopause, and even birth control medication can cause constant changing factors on your nutritional needs and hormonal levels which contribute to hair loss and excess fallout.
- Avoid ';crash and fad'; diets. Proper nutritious meals along with vitamin and mineral supplements are a key factor for healthy hair and skin.
- Good hair care starts with awareness. These hair care tips, if followed consistently, will reduce excess fallout, hair loss, and promote new hair growth.
- Reduce hair loss effects by increasing your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants. Take a vitamin B complex everyday or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.
- Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc %26amp; saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources.
- The Chinese believe that hair is nourished by the blood, and therefore influenced by the kidney %26amp; liver. Treatment is aimed at these organs using fleece flower root, wolfberry fruit or mulberry fruit.
- Eliminate stress or else it can be disastrous to your precious hair!
- Get enough sleep. Sleeping well is essential for the health of your hair as well as for the rest of your body.
There are ways you can help stop the grease from appearing but you have to work at it.
Do not wash everyday. The cleaner your hair is the more it can seep into your glands and harder it is to get rid of. When you do wash make sure you are washing with a cleaning shampoo and scrubbing the build up off. Take in mind that you also have to have a ph-balanced mild shampoo and lite scrubbing is recommended. Try to avoid conditioner at the roots, apply in the middle or on the ends.
Try to avoid oil in your daily food intake. And do eat more vegetables. You could visit your doctor but only after you check and consider your diet, drugs, alcohol, and your fatty food intake. Let's face it we see what McDonalds can do to your heart in a month, can you image your hair. You would be dripping everywhere.
Maybe it's time to change your shampoo. Ask your stylist what she or he would recommend. Avoid using shine products at all costs. Keep away from two-in-one shampoos and conditioners and any frizz serums.
To fix at the moment, rub a little Talcum Powder on your dried hair at the roots. Just make sure you wash it out. I wish they would event that magic product, but this will help until they do.
Here are 10 tips for to keep your hair strong, smooth, shiny and beautiful!
1. Keep your diet balanced, and eat protein and calcium rich foods. Stay away from junk foods! This is essential for healthy hair.
2. Foods and supplements to nourish your hair:
* Beans
* Yogurt
* Almonds
* Vitamin B
* Fish
* And of course, the magic potion for beauty - WATER
3. Before washing your hair, comb it well to make sure all knots has been loosened from your hair.
4. Before applying shampoo, use warm water (35 to 38 degrees Celsius) to run through your hair to rinse and wet it thoroughly.
5. When applying shampoo or conditioner, don't use your fingernails to scrape through your hair. Instead, use your palm and fingertips to massage your scalp and hair gently, in circular motions. This will help the circulation and also help to keep your hair shiny and smooth.
6. After rinsing away all the shampoo, run water over your hair for at least another half a minute (3 minutes is best) to ensure there are no remains of shampoo remaining in your hair, since this will cause a great deal of damage to your scalp.
7. When applying hair treatment products, do so just after you have washed your hair, so that your hair can absorb all the good stuff while it is half wet. This will be the best time for it to absorb nourishment.
8. NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.
9. Too much pressure may lead to hair loss! Relax... try some good relaxation methods such as soaking in a nice scented bath, listening to music, and eating healthy comfort foods such as strawberries and grapes.
10. Perming and coloring seriously damages your hair. Avoid it as much as possible. Also, when using hair setting products such as gel or putty, use as little as possible, because they hurt your scalp and hair. Wash them out thoroughly afterwards with a shampoo specially created for removing styling products.
Chlorine does damage your hair. It can strip natural oils, cause build-up that alters the color giving it a green or grey tint.
Wet your hair before entering and after exiting a chlorinated pool. This will reduce damage by allowing your hair to absorb the shower water instead of the chlorinated pool water. After swimming, use a shampoo designed to clarify your hair or specific ';swimmer's shampoo'; (available at Sally Beauty Supply stores). After shampooing your hair, apply a leave in conditioner.
Wearing a swim cap that is correctly fitted will nearly eliminate chances of damage. A well-fitted swim cap should keep your hair free of water.
Best of luck!

Chlorine leaves a heavy build up on your hair. Prolonged exposure to this build up will break the hair. does your hair feel slimy on the ends when wet? This is chlorine. You should use a Clarify Shampoo... such as rusk: clarify or Aveda: Detoxify. This removes any buildup on the hair. Use this 2X per week. Daily use may strip hair of oils it needs. Promise this will help, Good luck!Should i shampoo/ condition my hair after a swim everyday?I always wear a swim cap whilst swimming.?
GoOD lUCK!

Tips To Stop Hair Loss %26amp; Keep Healthy Hair Here are some hair care tips that you can use to help stop hair loss and keep your existing hair healthy and looking great. Please don't take these tips lightly. They are very important . The only thing they require is your time and commitment.
- Massage your scalp with your fingertips (not your nails) daily to stimulate and promote circulation to your scalp and reduce excess fallout. Invert your head while you shampoo %26amp; massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.
- Essential oils %26amp; tea . To stimulate scalp circulation, massage the scalp with rosemary essential oil or rinse hair with tea made from sage.
- Comb or brush your hair and scalp gently in the morning and at night. This helps break up hardened oils (sebum) that are clogging your hair follicles. Doing this alone has produced new hair growth. Do not over do combing or brushing.
- keep a distance from dryer's heat. When using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good distance from your scalp and hair. Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively. Excessive heat will increase hair loss, and excess fallout.
- Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as they will clog your hair follicles. Use a light hold spray if you must.
- After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.
- Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Good hair care over a long period really makes a difference!
- Avoid tight hats and caps as they contribute to poor circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition and stunting new hair growth. The sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle health and contribute to build-up.
- Always consult your health care provider for extreme causes of excess fallout and thinning. A medical condition or medication could be causing hair loss side-effects.
- Strive for balance and harmony in both your personal and professional lifestyle. High stress factors can cause your body to react by fluctuating hormone levels. This in turn causes excessive oil secretion (sebum) which results in hair loss.
- Pregnancy, nursing, menopause, and even birth control medication can cause constant changing factors on your nutritional needs and hormonal levels which contribute to hair loss and excess fallout.
- Avoid ';crash and fad'; diets. Proper nutritious meals along with vitamin and mineral supplements are a key factor for healthy hair and skin.
- Good hair care starts with awareness. These hair care tips, if followed consistently, will reduce excess fallout, hair loss, and promote new hair growth.
- Reduce hair loss effects by increasing your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants. Take a vitamin B complex everyday or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.
- Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc %26amp; saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources.
- The Chinese believe that hair is nourished by the blood, and therefore influenced by the kidney %26amp; liver. Treatment is aimed at these organs using fleece flower root, wolfberry fruit or mulberry fruit.
- Eliminate stress or else it can be disastrous to your precious hair!
- Get enough sleep. Sleeping well is essential for the health of your hair as well as for the rest of your body.
There are ways you can help stop the grease from appearing but you have to work at it.
Do not wash everyday. The cleaner your hair is the more it can seep into your glands and harder it is to get rid of. When you do wash make sure you are washing with a cleaning shampoo and scrubbing the build up off. Take in mind that you also have to have a ph-balanced mild shampoo and lite scrubbing is recommended. Try to avoid conditioner at the roots, apply in the middle or on the ends.
Try to avoid oil in your daily food intake. And do eat more vegetables. You could visit your doctor but only after you check and consider your diet, drugs, alcohol, and your fatty food intake. Let's face it we see what McDonalds can do to your heart in a month, can you image your hair. You would be dripping everywhere.
Maybe it's time to change your shampoo. Ask your stylist what she or he would recommend. Avoid using shine products at all costs. Keep away from two-in-one shampoos and conditioners and any frizz serums.
To fix at the moment, rub a little Talcum Powder on your dried hair at the roots. Just make sure you wash it out. I wish they would event that magic product, but this will help until they do.
Here are 10 tips for to keep your hair strong, smooth, shiny and beautiful!
1. Keep your diet balanced, and eat protein and calcium rich foods. Stay away from junk foods! This is essential for healthy hair.
2. Foods and supplements to nourish your hair:
* Beans
* Yogurt
* Almonds
* Vitamin B
* Fish
* And of course, the magic potion for beauty - WATER
3. Before washing your hair, comb it well to make sure all knots has been loosened from your hair.
4. Before applying shampoo, use warm water (35 to 38 degrees Celsius) to run through your hair to rinse and wet it thoroughly.
5. When applying shampoo or conditioner, don't use your fingernails to scrape through your hair. Instead, use your palm and fingertips to massage your scalp and hair gently, in circular motions. This will help the circulation and also help to keep your hair shiny and smooth.
6. After rinsing away all the shampoo, run water over your hair for at least another half a minute (3 minutes is best) to ensure there are no remains of shampoo remaining in your hair, since this will cause a great deal of damage to your scalp.
7. When applying hair treatment products, do so just after you have washed your hair, so that your hair can absorb all the good stuff while it is half wet. This will be the best time for it to absorb nourishment.
8. NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.
9. Too much pressure may lead to hair loss! Relax... try some good relaxation methods such as soaking in a nice scented bath, listening to music, and eating healthy comfort foods such as strawberries and grapes.
10. Perming and coloring seriously damages your hair. Avoid it as much as possible. Also, when using hair setting products such as gel or putty, use as little as possible, because they hurt your scalp and hair. Wash them out thoroughly afterwards with a shampoo specially created for removing styling products.
Chlorine does damage your hair. It can strip natural oils, cause build-up that alters the color giving it a green or grey tint.
Wet your hair before entering and after exiting a chlorinated pool. This will reduce damage by allowing your hair to absorb the shower water instead of the chlorinated pool water. After swimming, use a shampoo designed to clarify your hair or specific ';swimmer's shampoo'; (available at Sally Beauty Supply stores). After shampooing your hair, apply a leave in conditioner.
Wearing a swim cap that is correctly fitted will nearly eliminate chances of damage. A well-fitted swim cap should keep your hair free of water.

My 6 month old has eczema and cradle cap.how 2 cure it?best shampoo n cream?does it stay till they r toddlers?
johnsons honey shampoo or an oatmeal shampoo and body wash. any kind of baby lotion can help with the eczema and no typically it does not last until toddler stage. in some cases it has lasted that long, but very few that i have seen here. if it gets too bad, talk to pediatrician about it. there is a prescription out there for it.My 6 month old has eczema and cradle cap.how 2 cure it?best shampoo n cream?does it stay till they r toddlers?
my daughter had pretty bad cradle cap and I used Dentinox cradle cap treatment shampoo and it cleared it up really quickly
you should maybe go the the docs to see if you can get some sort of cream for the eczema
xMy 6 month old has eczema and cradle cap.how 2 cure it?best shampoo n cream?does it stay till they r toddlers?
my son had cradle cap. my doctor told me to wash it often and use a soft baby brush with the soap to remove the skin carefully. until he was 3 months old this was what i had to do. i also put baby oil (all natural no scent, the perfume can irritate the already tender skin) on his head afterwards. it can last until they are 5 years old i have heard, but this helped us. my sister-in-law had a harder time with her boys heads and found a wonderful paul mitchell shampoo for babies with cradle cap. my husband is a hair stylist and told me that teatree by paul mitchell would work too. good luck!
johnson and johnson has a shampoo specifically out for craddle cap I would try that........another thing I did with my daughter was.......put baby oil jel in her hair and take a fine bristled comb and brush through it to loosen it up.
The best thing to do is take your baby to her PCP, they may provide some cream for the baby. My son is 8 months and he has a slight case of eczema and they told me to just put some hydrocortisone on his skin. I think that he is too young to have something prescribed for it. Oh and yes they can have eczema when they are toddlers, my cousin is 6 yrs old and she still has it.
cradle cap: Johnson's baby oil at night, wash out with Johnson's baby shampoo in the morning. it goes a way fairly quickly
eczema: you need to get a creme from the doctor and use Avon Moisture therapy. that you're stuck with for life. it comes and goes.

Recently i am loosing soooo many hair while washing by shampoo. i regularly apply oil with e-cap and condition?
i don't know how to prevent the hair form falling but you can buy horse shampoo at the store and that will make your hair grow back a lot fasterRecently i am loosing soooo many hair while washing by shampoo. i regularly apply oil with e-cap and condition?
It could be:
- The sulfates (sodium laureth or sodium lauryl sulfate) in your shampoo.
- The oil treatments themselves
- hormonal factors (treatable with Hormone Replacement Therapy, Rogaine, transplants)
- an autoimmune disorder (those run in my family....)
- a scalp infection (is there a lot of dandruff, too?)
- a reaction to a medication
- a reaction to having a baby
- a current stressful even happening now or three months ago
- the season (sometimes women lose more hair in the fall.)
- perhaps you're not getting enough protein, B vitamins, fat, or Omega 3 fatty acids (these are important for healthy hair growth)
Switch products and stock up on nutrients. If this doesn't work, it couldn't hurt to see a dermatologist. %26lt;3Recently i am loosing soooo many hair while washing by shampoo. i regularly apply oil with e-cap and condition?
Well, you could just be losing hair naturally. You're supposed to lose about a hundred hairs a day. I generally end up with a lot of hair lost in the shower, especially on days when I wear my hair up. If you're losing big clumps of hair, however, you should probably go see a doctor.
