For the cradle cap pure baby oil with a soft cloth is the best for this , and gently rub the head with this , and give bathes in johnson's baby bath , and re oil the head every few hours, and after a bath, and the rash sounds like it need a bit of help from a doctor, you can use baby rash cream thats from the drug store and OTC , and it may well clear this up, get the medicated type and do this for the next few days, and heres another way to treat the cap !Massage your baby's scalp gently with your fingers or a soft brush to loosen the scales and improve scalp circulation.
Give your child daily, gentle shampoos with a mild soap while scales are present. After scales have disappeared, you may reduce shampoos to twice weekly.
Be sure to rinse off all soap.
Brush your child's hair with a clean, soft brush after each shampoo and several times during the day.
If scales do not easily loosen and wash off, apply some mineral oil to the baby's scalp and wrap warm, wet cloths around his head for up to an hour before shampooing. Then, shampoo as directed above. Remember that your baby loses a lot of heat through his scalp. If you use warm, wet cloths with the mineral oil, check frequently to be sure that the cloths have not become cold. Cold, wet cloths could drastically reduce your baby's temperature.
If the scales continue to be a problem or concern, or if you child seems uncomfortable or scratches his scalp, contact your physician. He may prescribe a cream or lotion to apply to your baby's scalp several times a day.
