My daughter has bad craddle cap across her eyebrows I put lotion on it a lot and it seems to only have gotten worse. What are some things I can do to make it go away?

This will sound so weird but breast milk helps it if you pour some on it or rub some idk why but it does

I did baking soda and added water to it and took a baby comb and rubbed it. It worked for me!

Coconut oil, the cure for everything I swear.  Get a soft brush, put coconut oil on it and rub it around.  My daughter had it really bad.

My nephew had it, his mom put baby oil on his head and would brush his hair the opposite way it would grow. After that she would bathe him to get all the cradle stuff off of him.

If its in her hair line I wouldn't brush or pick at it.. I combed my son when he had it and all his hair fell out.. he went from a full head of heai to a bald baby for months ); I stopped and just put baby oil on it. Worked great! Took it away fast and his hair came back pretty (:

Both of my sons had it really bad, I would bathe them, and then use a fine tooth comb, and just lightly keep combing through, after a couple of baths it was all gone. Baby oil or coconut oil works well to, to soften it up.

My son had cradle cap in the same place and in his hair line his pediatrician told me to use selsun blue, I know sounds weird but it worked! Just put a little bit across her eyebrows and then wipe off with a warm wash cloth..and to avoid cradle cap in the future always use new clean water to rinse out her hair and wash her face, I was always just using the water that was already in his little tub not knowing it could cause cradle cap

I know exactly what your talking about... Because my daughter suffered with it when she was born. My mother is from the old school so she told me to never mess with it or pick at it with a comb. I daughter did break out in a rash because of it on her chest and back and I took her to her pediatrician and she gat me some cream for it. And after a few weeks it started to go away. So if it bothers you that much right or if a break out happen take your baby to the doctor. Hope this was helpful for you:-)
