OMAHA CRADLE CAP TREATMENT

Cradle cap is an extremely common skin condition for infants that causes oily, crusty, or scaly patches of skin. Usually, they are found on the scalp, which is why it’s considered a pediatric scalp condition. Our Omaha pediatric dermatologists at MOD Dermatology are experts in the latest and most effective cradle cap treatments for Omaha patients. We'll develop a personalized plan to gently address those pesky scales and crusts, restoring your baby's soft, healthy skin. Our goal is to bring back your baby's natural brilliance and ensure their comfort. 

WHAT IS CRADLE CAP?

Cradle cap, or infantile seborrheic dermatitis, is at times confused with atopic dermatitis, a different condition. But a major distinction between the conditions is that atopic dermatitis can be very itchy, while cradle cap usually isn’t painful or itchy. The crusty or oily patches can sometimes become thick white or yellow scales, and while it is a pediatric scalp condition, affected areas can be found on eyelids, ears, nose, and groin. Generally, washing the baby’s scalp with mild shampoo can help clear up cradle cap, but when that doesn’t work, it’s time to see a doctor. MOD Dermatology can also help with pediatric hair conditions in Omaha like hair loss caused by cradle cap. No matter the severity or exact symptoms your child is going through, we can help them have clearer, healthier skin.
