Understanding Cradle Cap
What causes cradle cap?
Cradle cap develops when the sebaceous glands in an infant’s scalp produce excess oil, trapping dead skin cells. While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, factors like maternal hormones, fungal presence, or skin sensitivity may play a role.
Is it harmful?
Cradle cap is generally harmless and not contagious. However, when left untreated, professional intervention may be required to ensure comfort and healthy skin.
