To treat cradle cap, gently massage baby oil, petroleum jelly, or a mild emollient onto your baby's scalp to loosen the crusts, then wash the scalp with mild baby shampoo and gently brush to remove scales. Repeat daily or as needed until the scales disappear. Don't pick or scratch the scales to prevent infection. If the cradle cap doesn't improve, spreads, or shows signs of infection (redness, weeping), consult your doctor, who may recommend a mild steroid cream or antifungal shampoo.

it is a very common condition and usually improves by 12-18 months of age.
You can try:
1) any baby shampoo: use fine comb to remove scales gently
2) if the skin appears red, try 1% Hydrocortisone cream, twice a day for 7-10 days.
3) if it does not improve, Nizarol shampoo may be used for few weeks.
Cradle cap chote bachon mein common hai, zyada tar harmless hota hai aur time ke sath apne aap thik ho jata hai. Agar oozing ho rahi hai to thoda infection develop ho sakta hai, is liye zyada rubbing ya scratching bilkul na karein.
Aap baby ke sir par gentle baby oil (jaise olive oil ya coconut oil) laga kar 15–20 min ke baad soft brush ya cotton se flakes gently remove kar sakte hain. Baby shampoo se softly head wash karein.
Agar redness zyada ho, pus/oozing continue kare, ya baby bohot restless ho to yeh infection ki nishani ho sakta hai aur doctor se proper check-up ki zarurat hogi. Kabhi bhi apne aap strong creams ya steroids use na karein.
