How to deal with baby's cradle cap

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should cradle cap be treated in infants?

Doctor's answer:

Removal of Cradle Cap on Infant's Scalp
Scalp cradle cap can be cleaned with clean vegetable oil. The method involves heating the vegetable oil (it must not be raw oil) and then cooling it before applying it to the cradle cap. After 12 to 24 hours, gently comb the scalp with an infant-safe comb, and the cradle cap will fall off. Finally, wash the scalp with infant soap and warm water. If the cradle cap has become very thick, it may need to be removed multiple times.
Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
