I was doing dd2s hair earlier as its curly its a mission to get her to sit there but i noticed she has patches of cradle cap all over her scalp, not huge ones just small 5cent peice sizes scattered over her head.

Shes 3 in december, i didnt know kids could get it this late, i feel negletful now as i have never noticed it :(

Will baby oil do the trick like it does on bubs? I am going to have fun trying to get it into her hair :rolleyes:

Could it be psoriasis (sp*)?

Dont think so she gets really bad excema and its not like that its more like cradle cap, i ran a comb over it and it seemed to come away a littleits not inflamed or anything, her hair is the same colour of it LOL guess thats why i didnt really notice it

Ruby is 3 1/2 and has what looks like cradle cap all over her head. But she also has eczema. I have never found a way to get rid of it and it looks awful.

maybe it might be both its yuck though guess at least i can only see it close up fingers crossed baby oil works if not it will set her excema off but seems to be ok so far

Yep my DD was still getting it at 2. Baby oil should work, it's just a bugger to wash out afterwards as there is more hair.
