My little guy has what looks like a bit of cradle cap on one of his eyebrows. It's a kind of scaly yellow rash. We'll take him in on Monday if it gets worse. For now I've put some breastmilk on the rash and will try soaking it with a warm washcloth and coconut oil next, in an attempt to get the scales off.
Anyone have experience with this? How'd you treat it? How long before it disappeared?
Our little guy has this too. Doctor has never said anything about it and I keep forgetting to mention. Some days it is more pronounced than others. Interested to follow this thread.
Yep we have a mild case on the scalp and eyebrows. Keepint it moisturized with ointments and softly scrubbing the scales off with a washcloth during bath
We put hydrocortisone on my girl's brows in the morning and a little bit of aquaphor the rest of the day. It cleared up completely within a few days. Now I just maintain with aveeno eczema. Can't tell it was ever there.
My daughter has this too . I've done breastmilk which didn't make much of a difference. Aquafor (spelling?!?) has made a great improvement though . My pediatrician hasn't said anything about it and I always forget to ask
Ds1 got a spot of it on his forehead when he was a little older, I want to say at least 4 months or so. Pedi had me put selsum blue on it and wash off and it immediately cleared up. Not sure if your lo's are too young but if the other methods don't help ask you pedi about using it.
Rub olive oil into it and leave on for an hour before bath and then gently wipe off with washcloth and apply a gentle lotion afterwards. Both my girls had this and was gone after a week or so.
Both of ours have had it. We rub the areas with a warm washcloth. I've been told to prep the area with coconut oul first but we found that gently rubbing with the warm washcloth alone seemed to remove most of it after a few bath times.
We've done a couple applications of coconut oil but the scales are stubbornly sticking. We haven't tried letting the oil soak and coming back to it later, though. Will give that a try.
@skschnake : that kit looks amazing. I don't live in the USA, so not sure we have anything like that here...but I'll have a look tomorrow!

The little brush that comes with it is what really got It to come off. My little one had a scalp full of it. I applied the oil/lotion while I was feeding her, rubbed it in then went thru with the brush and it all came off! Sometimes it can come back and will need to be repeated. Maybe try amazon if you have that where you leave! Good luck
