Soooooo, Alex has had cradle cap for, oh I don't know, about FOUR years now. Every bath, I would gently scratch his scalp whilst shampooing with a recommended shampoo in an attempt to loosen the gunk from his little head. For four years, I was convinced this was some sort of super strain of cradle cap.
I saw some T-Scal shampoo at Target and asked the pharmacist about it. After she regained her composure from being shocked into near silence that I was going to use this on a 4 year old, she recommended I ask his doctor before using it. Then she asked if I've tried the home remedy of olive oil. I slyly blabbered something incoherent, thanked her, and walked away wondering why in the hell I haven't tried this olive oil thing I have known about since he first acquired this lovely grossness.
Last night, I doused my kid's head in olive oil. Wanna guess what happened? Yep. All of the cradle cap came off. Shocking, right? The remedy that 99.99999% of all people recommend and it actually works! Weird!
I suck.
That's exactly what I did with Addy when she was a few months old and it worked perfectly! Glad you got results!
