How do I cure infant cradle cap?
My baby is 5 months old and has had cradle cap since she was a few weeks old. I’ve done several home remedies and even used an anti-dandruff shampoo, but it hasn't worked. What should I do for my baby’s cradle cap?

I would start by checking with your pediatrician to make sure it is craddle cap for sure. There are many prescription strenght therapies that your pediatricain can prescribe if needed.
I have tried ketoconazole shampoo twice a week, which is anti-fungal and anti-dandruff.
Moisturize the scalp with coconut oil or baby oil and brush with a soft toothbrush to loosen the scale. Keep the scalp moisturized daily
