i used head and shoulders on my dd (2) worked a treat, just leave it on for a couple of minutes each time you wash their hair .

ppl - is betnovate a cream or a shampoo? thanks

My son is 4 and i had tried almost every oil and nothing worked so i took him to my gp and he gave him some betnovate i think it was and it has cleared it up great.

any oil is good for it and almond oil will also help the hair grow. my dd has it shes 3.5yrs and it doesnt look like its shifting any time soon

i was told by a hairdresser that almond oil is good,my ds has it quite bad too hes 3.lol i was picking a bit out the other day and then i realised where i was,in the supermarket queue and i think people thought i was picking nits pmsl.

My daughters got so bad at 3/4 her hair started to fall out - Doc said it had moved on from cradle cap to sebborheal (sp) dermatitis which apparantly is eczema on the scalp more or less. I got a tar shampoo to leave soaking in to her scalp a couple of times a week from him and was told to rub olive oil in. I scraped it off with a nit comb and touchwood it hasn't come back. She's 6 1/2 now hth

My eldest is 5 and still has cradle cap. I've given up trying to get rid of it and have figured it will just go on it's own eventually.

Sorry i'm no help. Nothing has worked for us.

my daughter has cradle cap on her scalp and she is 4. any advice on how i can get rid of it. thanks
