HOMOEOPATHY FOR CRADLE CAP
Cradle cap is common in newborns. It usually isn't itchy.
Cradle cap is the common term for infantile
seborrheic dermatitis. It's sometimes confused with another skin condition,
infantile eczema. A major difference between these conditions is that eczema
usually causes significant itching.
Cradle cap usually clears up on its own in a few months. Home-care
measures include washing your baby's scalp daily with a mild shampoo. This can
help loosen and remove the scales. Don't scratch cradle cap.
Cause-The cause of
cradle cap isn't known. One contributing factor may be hormones that pass from
the mother to the baby before birth. These hormones can cause too much
production of oil (sebum) in the oil glands and hair follicles.
Another factor may be a yeast (fungus) called malassezia that grows in the sebum along with bacteria.
Antifungal treatments, such as ketoconazole, are often effective, supporting
the idea that yeast is a contributing factor.
Cradle cap isn't contagious, and it's not caused by poor hygiene.
Symptoms-Common signs of cradle cap include:-Patchy scaling or thick crusts on
the scalp, Oily or dry skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales, Skin
flakes, Possibly mild redness
Similar scales may also be present on the ears, eyelids, nose and groin.
