Mild cradle cap or crust on the baby's scalp can be treated by scrubbing the area with a soft toothbrush and baby oil. The oil helps soften the scales. Then, shampoo as usual to remove the flakes. Don't shampoo the baby everyday, as this can dry the scalp and worsen cradle cap.
If the case is severe, always talk to your pediatrician when in doubt.
