"My 4-month-old baby has cradle cap at the moment (crusts on the scalp). I have tried using olive oil for several days without success. What should I do?"

You should wash your baby's hair with a gentle baby shampoo and follow up with a few drops of oil in their bathwater. Gently rub their scalp with a wet washcloth soaked in the oil-infused water to help remove the crusts. If this method doesn't work within 14 days, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional.
