Don't pick at it. It should go away on it's own. If it is dry and peeling you could put some baby lotion or baby oil on it. As young as she is though, I would suggest taking her into her doctor for a look at it.

Actually two of my three children had this happen to them and it's called cradle cap(seborrheic dermatitis).for the scalp you can use mineral oil or vasiline to loosen the scales..usually the dr. will perscribe a special shampoo for you to use( a anti seborric dermatitis shampoo)he'll also perscribe a topical oitment for the rash.Try and keep the scalp dry ,if possible don't put hats on her.From what you're describing i believe thats what this is.You should definitally take her to the dr.HTH.
