Cradle Cap in 2yo?

**punkbaby** · 13-09-2007 13:01

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

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
