Default Re: Cradle Cap

I have no clue what the causes of cradle cap are. My youngest son had it especially horribly. I first put vegetable oil all over his scalp - yup, plain vegetable oil - to soften the crusty stuff. I left it there for about 20 minutes. Then, with a combination of an index card's edge and a VERY fine tooth comb, I carefully removed all the 'gunk' from his head. Then gave him a nice bath and he was better than new. Never came back or anything.
