Flaky white skin on head & eyebrows

[Redshoes]

Ophelia's developed some slight flaking on her scalp and eyebrows, obviously I'd rather not put anything on it, but I worry I may need to, I did consider Olive Oil but not sure, so any further help would be appreciated, the more natural the better

Sounds like cradle cap.

Cradle cap can be treated with olive oil. Its a bit of a faff putting it on eyebrows though.

If you are breastfeeding and have some Lansinoh nipple cream I'd put that on her eyebrows at bedtime and it should heal well by morning. Same for her head if she doesn't have much hair.

We used it on Galen's cradle cap on his eyebrows and it cleared it up overnight. His head was more problematic as he has masses of hair and Lansinoh nor olive oil seemed to get right down onto his scalp. Have had to use the shampoo on his head.

You can also scrape/scratch it off. Its a bit gross to do but it helps if you can rub off the dead skin.
