Cradle cap

2019-02-14 19:30:02
My daughter is 3 months old and is on breastfeed. She has developed cradle or scalp cap condition. I have been told that the cradle cap condition in baby will improve if I take biotin supplements. Is that correct? If so please suggest any good supplements. What else can be done to completely cure this condition. She often itches her head. What can soothe her itching?
