Cradle cap or something else?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
DS is three months old. For a few weeks now, he's had a few crusty spots on his scalp. It seems to be most noticeable just above his forehead, kind of on either side of his "widow's peak". Sometimes it gets a bit red, but it doesn't seem to be itchy or bother him. Lately, I've noticed that the whole area seems to be raised, like there's a bump on his head. DH described it like DS was "growing horns." Does this sound like anything you've experienced before? Is it worth a trip to the ped?

Maybe your son has an allergy to something, be it food or whatever you apply to his skin? Cradle cap and eczema are both signs of allergy. I would talk to your pediatrician about it...
