What can I do for adolescent cradle cap?

stephaniesharee

I need suggestions on what I can do for adolescent cradle cap? My little brother doesn't have any insurance and I need help. Could conofite lotion 1 % help? What about chlorhexidine scrub used as a shampoo?

my 5 year old has it STILL UGH!! his doctor said to use dandruff shampoo like head and shoulders. I know I use baby oil once in a while but it is harder not htat his hair is growing.
good luck and if you find something that works let me know, I hate using adult shampoo on him it sometimes gets into his eyes and burns
thanks and good luck. Also I hope he knows how lucky he is to have a big sister that is so caring

They used to use castor oil or olive oil rubbed in then use a tooth comb to pick it out and an appropiate shampoo after wards, there are things OTC now that may help, I do not know about the one you mention in your post, a drug store may have a pharmasist can advise.
