Cradle Cap & Selsun Blue Question

Mags04

If you used Selsun Blue for cradle cap, how long did it take for you begin to see results?

DS has a stubborn case of cradle cap and I'm now trying Selsun Blue. I'm curious if others have seen good results.

DS has a mild case, the Dr told me to use head & shoulders, dilute in water, massage 2 minutes on head, rinse well, brush with soft brush to loosen flakes every other day. I have done this twice now and it looks much much better already.

I use coconut oil. Selsun blue is too harsh IMO.

We have a stubborn case. We've tried olive oil, coconut oil, head and shoulders and lots of brushing and removing flakes with a fine tooth comb. It will look better immediately, but back to the same condition by the next day. I guess Ill be trying the Selsun Blue next..

Thank you for the suggestions. The pedi said Selsun blue but I'm intrigued by the coconut oil. I'll have to try it.

I used Selsun Blue and it worked like a CHARM! We used coconut oil afterward. We even put it on her cheeks and forehead, let it set for 5 mins, scrubbed it with her baby brush, and wiped off with a warm washcloth (per pedi's suggestion). We used Aveeno baby hair wash to get the Selsun Blue off and counteract the stench. That all worked amazingly and we continue to do that if it gets bad, but we use coconut oil for maintenance.
