    My DD gets gunk behind her ears - not sure if it's just dry skin.  When I wash her hair I massage that area a little with shampoo and use her wash cloth to gently wipe/rinse it off.   
    This exactly. As long as I clean behind her ears every other day during her bath it doesn't seem to build up.
    this here too. The first time I noticed it I was shocked! lol it was so gross looking. This was several months ago but now I keep an eye on it and I always clean back there during her bath.

    I just noticed gunk behind DS's ears today! Apparently the crease back there is deeper than I ever realized. Bad mama.

  • My doctor told me its a form of cradle cap. She gave me some medicated ointment for when it gets a bit funky. The cream cleans it up in a day or so.

    This exactly. But I've found if you use a little baby oil after baths it doesn't get bad :)

  • Yes, my DS has it as well, I just try to keep it clean and also put lotion in that area

  • I thought it was milk or spit up.
