Cradle cap for the first time at 2 years old

[Amanda]

Charlie's always had a good scalp and great skin. But last night I felt something lumpy when I washed his hair in the bath. He wouldn't let me look at it.

This morning I managed to look when we were having our morning cuddle and cuppa. He's got a patch of really bad cradle cap right on the top of his head. It's about 3 inches round. It looks like someone's smeared porridge into his hair.

I went to Boots and they gave me some cream.

But is there anything else I should be doing? Sorry for the stupid questions, just that neither kid has ever had this, even when they were tiny babies.

The cream has made his hair look all greasy in one patch. I'm not sure if it looks worse because his hair is blond, but it's awful.

try detinox, its shampoo for cradle cap and works wonders

failing that, baby oil/olive in scalp before bed and wash out in morning looks mingin at time but works
