cradle cap-did mustela shampoo help?

cynthia2007

LO has flaky skin almost like dandruff not yellow or crusty but it is loose and there. It wasn't so noticable before when she had thicker hair but now she's losing her hair and you can see it more. I've read about mustela shampoo. For those of you who tried it, did it help and if so how long did it take?

We could find the shampoo at our bru but they had MUSTELA cradle cap treatment. It's a cream you put on at bed time and rinse out in the morning it was very effective. Cradle cap was gone after a couple treatments and it had no smell and was a nice consistency. We didn't put it all over his whole head hair area just the dry spots which was close to his forehead good luck.

yes! For us it worked great! I massaged his head with his soft brush to loosen the dry skin. After his bath, I took a fine tooth comb and kinda scrapped the flakes off- it came right off! I only had to do it a few times and his cradle cap was clear. 

He still has a little on his soft spot- but I am too worried about damaging his soft spot. The pedi said I could, and he would be okay, it just creeps me out a little, so I won't touch it. 

He also had some dry spots between his eyes, and his eye brows. I did the same thing, and I also applied aquaohor, and that helped.
