Toddler cradle cap.

Can I do anything to get rid of this?  He's almost 3. He never had it as an infant, but it's everywhere on his head now. It's covered by hair, of course, but I know it's there and it drives me nuts. Plus I can't help scraping it off and that's driving *him* nuts. Lol.

We use Head and Shoulders when DD1 gets it.  You just have to be really careful not to get it in his eyes when rinsing since it stings a bit more.

I'd see a dermatologist. When I brought my then-15 month old in with a scaly head and said she still had cradle cap, she told me "we call this eczema after 6 months of age." She gave me a prescription steroid oil to place on her head every night before bed, and it has worked wonders. I had previously tried everything else. (Food elimination diet helped us here, too!)

My dd had it, only my hair stylist BFF said it was actually probably a form of dandruff. She said try a tea tree oil shampoo every other shampooing, and that cleared it right up. We used California Baby.
