[…] The symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis can be effectively controlled with a combination of self-care measures and drug therapy. […] Infant treatment — Although cradle cap usually resolves without treatment, it may require treatment in some cases. Suggestions for treatment include: Shampoo once a day with baby shampoo and gently remove scaly skin with a soft brush (eg, a soft toothbrush) or fine-tooth comb after shampooing. Apply a small amount of an emollient (white petroleum jelly, vegetable oil, mineral oil, baby oil) to the scalp (overnight, if necessary) to loosen the scaly patches, followed by gentle scalp massage with a soft brush (to lift the scale), then shampoo with a nonmedicated baby shampoo. If cradle cap persists despite these measures, a healthcare provider should be consulted. They may recommend mild topical corticosteroids or a prescription antifungal shampoo.
