• #10 Cradle Cap – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK531463/

  Cradle cap, or pityriasis capitis, is a subset of infantile seborrheic dermatitis (ISD). It is a very common, mostly self-limiting, chronic non-inflammatory scaling skin condition that presents between the third week and first couple months of life. The peak incidence is at 3 months of life. The skin manifestations are marked by erythematous plaques with greasy-appearing yellowish scale. Parents should be educated properly on the management and the benign nature of this condition. […] This activity reviews the evaluation, treatment, and complications of cradle cap and underscores the importance of an interprofessional team approach to its management. […] Cradle cap is generally a self-limiting skin condition. Prevention of cradle cap is difficult, secondary to the unknown cause of the condition, yet many believe hormones play a strong role. Moreover, the treatment for mild and localized cradle cap should remain conservative. The infant should be washed daily with a gentle baby shampoo along with an emollient (white petrolatum, mineral oil, baby oil) prior to the shampoo use. The emollient may prove more effective if remaining in contact with the skin for a prolonged period of time, overnight if necessary, to break up the scale. Afterward, there should be the gentle removal of scale with a soft toothbrush or cradle cap comb. The oil will help soften the scale making it easier for removal. Once the scale is removed, parents should continue daily shampooing of their infant’s affected areas to prevent recurrence. Cradle cap that does not improve after conservative measures or that is extensive in nature can be treated with an antifungal cream such as ketoconazole 2% or a topical steroid cream such as hydrocortisone 1% for approximately 1-2 weeks. […] Parents should also be educated on the chronicity of this condition during the early infant years and reminded of its self-limiting nature.
