My child was prescribed Atarax for an itchy rash which cleared up on their body, but the doctor says the remaining rash on their head and face is cradle cap?how should I treat this remaining rash?
For the remaining cradle cap on her head and face, simple, gentle care is best. You can wash her scalp daily with a mild, fragrance-free baby shampoo, gently massaging the scales with a soft washcloth or brush to help them loosen. Applying a tiny amount of mineral oil or petroleum jelly to the crusts for a few minutes before washing can also soften them. For her face, just use warm water and a gentle moisturizer. Cradle cap is very common and harmless, and it should clear up soon with these gentle steps.
