My doctor did a biopsy on my face and it came back as cradle cap, I am 50 years old and its on the side of my nose and my chin what do I do to get ride of it and stop it from coming back?
My Doctor put me on steroids and while I was on them I cleared up. But as soon as I stopped it came back, ends up I can't be on the steroids any more because of my kidneys and my cataracts. So I have tried the T-shampoo, tea tree oil, baby oil, my own blend of Vitamin E oil, lavender oil, almond oil, & Jojoba oil, Aloboene Moisturizing cleanser and MaryKay extra emollient night cream, using the last 2 keeps things at a slower pace but I have to wash my face and use the nightcream 3 to 5 times a day or my face will flake and crack at times it is very painful. So I am looking for something to knock this out or at least keep me from flaring during the day. I leave the house looking one way and come home with a different face so frustrating. Thanks for the advice

I have the perfect solution. The company I represent offers a one of the kind cradle cap shampoo for babies. This stuff is absolutely awesome. It is called Scalp Magic. Here is the link: https://www.iambabycrazy.com/forms/frm_shop_item_info.asp...
If you need any help, definitely give me a call or email.
Best of luck

In theory all of the lotions or soaps we use with salicylic acid or hydroxy acids to prevent wrinkles should prevent you from getting this in the first place. I used a mild foaming shampoo with 0.5% salicylic acid by Mustella on my babies which you could in theory use on your face. I use a Beta Hydroxy toner by Trish McEvoy which would work as well and otherwise maintain a healthy face ph. I'm curious what is going on... Hormones? Best of luck!
Someone beat me to the tea tree oil! It's magic.
We were told to use hydrocortizone first and when that didn't work, we got a mild steroid. Didn't your doc. have any suggestions?
my GD ped doctor told us cradle cap is allergy related
Tea Tree Oil!!!!!!!
i dont know if this will work bc its your face but i use baby oil on all of my kids when they had cradle cap and it worked for them
Hey C.! Although it is often just described as cradle cap, seborrheic dermatitis is the technical term for it. It's just called cradle cap when babies have it on the scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis can be on the scalp, face, or body. It can start at any age, and it is often an ongoing condition. If you get it cleared up, it would still be good to treat a couple times a week to keep it from flaring up. I usually recommend using over-the-counter clotirmazole cream 1% (the generic for Lotrimin) found in the foot care aisle. It is anti-fungal, not steroid. So, you can use it regularly and not worry about breaking your skin down. I would recommend using a topical steroid, like the over-the-counter Cortaid or Cortizone 10, only if you are having a bad flare. Also, you may want to wash your face with an anti-dandruff shampoo while in the shower. I think someone previously mentioned salicylic acid, which is in the Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo. That is one that I recommend often. It is also the medicine in the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne wash.
I hope you clear soon!
