Dear Patient,

Kindly show a dermatologist at the earliest, this looks like “cradle cap'.
You can rub a small amount of pure, plant-derived oil (coconut oil, pure olive oil, almond oil) on the baby's scalp and leaving it on for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, gently comb out the flakes with a fine tooth comb or brush. Be sure to wash out all of the oil to avoid making the cradle cap worse. Massage and loosen this gently. Rush to the doc immediately if it spreads, becomes red or oozes fluid.

For further help, we advise booking an appointment with the best dermatologists in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/dermatologist
