Overview
Cradle cap, sometimes also called crib cap, is the baby version of seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis causes dandruff in adults. In babies, it causes extremely thick and flaky skin on a baby’s scalp.
Cradle cap is common, mostly harmless, and should go away eventually. It’s most common in babies up to 3 months old, but it can last up to a year or longer. Most cases of cradle cap go away by a child’s first birthday, and cases continue to drastically decrease as a child approaches 4 years of age.
Cradle cap is usually located on the head and may concentrate behind the ears. Sometimes, it also affects the skin under the eyebrows or on the nose, armpits, or groin. The flakes may be either dry or greasy, and they are usually white or yellow.
Cradle cap is harmless and it’s not medically necessary to get rid of it. But if you want to try removing it, there are a few safe methods you can use at home. Most remedies are not scientifically proven to work and results will likely be temporary.
Someday your child will simply grow out of developing cradle cap.
Always be gentle with baby skin. If you irritate the scalp too much you could cause tiny cuts, which might get infected.
1. Brush your baby’s scalp
Gently brushing your baby’s scalp is a good way to move some flakes off their head, but be careful not to pick or scrape at the flakes. You can find special brushes made just for cradle cap. Sometimes hospitals send you home with a brush following delivery of your baby. A new toothbrush with gentle bristles also works.
To use this method:
- Moving in one direction, slowly brush the affected area of scalp to loosen flakes.
- Continue brushing through the hair to remove flakes from each hair strand.
- You can do this on wet or dry hair.
Brush once a day. If the scalp becomes red or agitated, brush less often.
Brushing will remove some flakes and may promote overall scalp health. This is a safe method.
2.
Hydrate the scalp
Hydrating the scalp is good for loosening flakes, and some people feel it nourishes the scalp underneath. You’ll need a pure plant oil, such as olive, coconut, jojoba, or almond oil. Baby oil also works. Whichever you choose, try a small amount on your baby’s scalp first to see if it causes any irritation.
To use this method:
- Apply a thin layer of oil to the scalp.
- Gently massage the oil in for about a minute. If your baby still has a soft spot on their head, use extra caution around this area.
- Leave oil to soak in for about 15 minutes.
- Wash the oil out with a gentle baby shampoo.
You can use this method once a day. Anecdotally, people find this method to be effective, but there’s no research to support it. As long as your child isn’t allergic to the oil, this is a safe method.
3. Wash baby’s hair
Proper hair hygiene can go a long way toward diminishing the appearance of cradle cap.
A baby shampoo may be enough to help treat the cradle cap. Only use dandruff shampoo with your doctor’s permission because it might not be safe for your baby.
To use this method:
- Wet the hair and scalp.
- Massage shampoo into the scalp.
- Use a baby towel to lather shampoo and gently rub the affected areas. You may also try brushing your baby’s scalp while you shampoo.
- Rinse baby’s hair to remove all of the shampoo.
Ask your pediatrician how often they recommend you wash your baby’s hair. Too much shampooing might dry out the scalp and make cradle cap worse.
Shampooing is very effective for temporarily removing cradle cap flakes, and it’s very safe when using baby shampoo. Just be careful not to get soap in your baby’s eyes.
4. Apply prescription creams
In extreme cases, your doctor may recommend an antifungal, hydrocortisone, or zinc cream. Follow the instructions of your care provider while using them.
5.
Try essential oils, if OK’d by your pediatrician
These highly concentrated oils are herbal remedies that contain the essence (active ingredient) of various plants. Using antimicrobial essential oils may help fight cradle cap caused by yeast (though this is an uncommon cause of cradle cap in babies). Anti-inflammatory essential oils may soothe the scalp.
When choosing an oil, consider lemon or geranium essential oil and a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil. Some people also recommend tea tree oil, but this oil may not be safe for young babies and should be avoided on babies younger than 6 months.
To use:
- Dilute 2 drops of essential oil in 2 tablespoons of carrier oil.
- Apply oils to the affected area.
- Leave on for a few minutes.
- Comb or brush flakes off.
- Wash all oils off with shampoo.
This method should be used sparingly. It’s also unclear if it’s actually safe to apply any essential oils directly on a baby’s skin.
Ask your doctor first and only follow the advice of a certified aromatherapist when using essential oils.
Causes
Not all babies get cradle cap. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), about 10 percent of baby boys and 9.5 percent of baby girls have it.
Cradle cap is very common, but little is known about what exactly causes it. This is one reason it may be hard to remove or prevent. In adults, there appears to be a link between seborrheic dermatitis and the Malassezia species of yeast, but the association is less clear in infants. It’s estimated that half of the population has some level of dandruff, which is also strongly linked to Malassezia yeasts.
Some scientists believe there’s a hormonal link since it appears at birth, goes away, and then often returns around puberty.
Sometimes — though very rarely — generalized cradle cap may be linked to immunodeficiency. If this is the case, there will be other symptoms in addition to just cradle cap, and your doctor can diagnose and treat your child.
When to seek help
Cradle cap is usually not urgent but it’s worth mentioning to your doctor at your child’s next check-up.
If the skin looks very red, infected, or agitated, call your doctor. You should also call if the cradle cap spreads to the baby’s face or body.
Cradle cap vs. infantile eczema
Cradle cap looks similar to infantile eczema, but a doctor will easily be able to tell the difference. Infantile eczema is usually itchy and cradle cap is not. If you’re worried about your baby’s cradle cap or want to learn more, ask your pediatrician at your next appointment.
Outlook
Cradle cap is mostly harmless and usually clears up on its own. Often it goes away by baby’s first birthday, though in some children it may not clear up until they are between 2 and 4 years old.
You can try some safe methods of cradle cap removal at home, but always be careful with products and when handling baby skin.

Description of the invention to patent
The invention relates to beekeeping equipment, in particular to improvised means that facilitate the work of a beekeeper to the design of tables-stands for a honey extractor to drain honey from it.
A well-known design of the honeycomb uncapping table is a wooden box with a lid that folds back and rests on the stops at the back. At the bottom of this drawer is a second (drawer) drawer. See 2004-2009© Pchel Iventar LLC E-mail [email protected] Russia, Orenburg, 460050, PO Box 1749, tel./fax.+7(3532)526133 tel.+7-9033-90-10-44, 8- 9128-424-424/
The disadvantages of the known table include its limited technological capabilities when using it, for example, when carrying out other necessary maintenance work, such as draining honey from a honey extractor.
In this case, you have to install the honey extractor on another stand or table that rises above the ground and, as the honey flows out of the honey extractor, independently tilt, substitute the stands or hold the honey extractor in an inclined position to completely drain the honey. And so every time when enough honey has accumulated in the honey extractor to drain. nine0003
The design of an ordinary table, consisting of a flat surface mounted on four legs, is widely known - a prototype. Such tables, when manufactured with appropriate sizes, are also used by beekeepers during periodic inspection of hives, the state of work of bee colonies and when pumping honey as a stand for a honey extractor. At the same time, when pumping honey, it becomes necessary to tilt the flask and hold it in an inclined position, which causes inconvenience in use, slows down the pumping process, which is quite laborious. At the same time, during the pumping of honey, a sufficiently large number of bees accumulate around, which fall under the honey extractor and other moving objects and die.
nine0003
The disadvantages of the known table include the inconvenience in its use for pouring honey from a honey extractor and the high labor intensity of work associated with its limited technological capabilities, which consist in the need to tilt the flask when pumping honey, hold it in a given position, additionally put stands under flasks and stands under the edges of the honey extractor to ensure its inclination, which leads to a significant death of bees falling under the stands, supports, flasks, honey extractor during work. nine0003
The object of the present invention is to provide a stand for a honey extractor that reduces labor intensity and simplifies the work of pouring honey from the extractor, while ensuring the safety of bees.
The task is achieved by a combination of well-known features such as a table, including legs and a lid fixed to them, and new features consisting in the fact that on the legs, in their lower part, two runners, curved and directed in one direction, are fixed, on the upper curved edge of which, with the help of swivel fixed, inverted in front view, U-shaped support platform-cradle for mounting a container for honey on it.
nine0003
The hinged connection of the supporting platform-cradle with the upper edge of the skids is made above the center of gravity of the container for honey installed on the platform, for example, a flask.
The tilt angle of the table towards the support platform-cradle is made equal to 5-25° due to the execution of the lower plane of the support platform-cradle above the lower plane of the table skids.
Bending of the runners towards the tilt of the table begins at a distance of 0.05-0.3 of the honey extractor diameter from the vertical axis of symmetry of the table. nine0003
The lid of the table is equipped with a honey extractor displacement limiter, made in the form of a shoulder along the perimeter of the table or from the side of its inclination.
The novelty of the proposed device is the implementation on the legs, in their lower part, curved and directed in one direction, two skids, on the upper curved edge of which, by means of a hinged connection, is fixed, inverted in front view, a U-shaped support platform-cradle for installation on it honey containers.
Thus, the presence of runners bent to one side allows the table, as honey flows out of the honey extractor and as honey accumulates in the drained container and its weight increases, to tilt itself, ensuring the complete flow of honey from the honey extractor without the participation of the beekeeper.
Signs of hinged connection of the support platform-cradle with the upper edge of the skids above the center of gravity, installed on the platform of a container for honey, for example, a flask, allows you to constantly maintain a flask or other container located on the platform-cradle in a strictly vertical position. nine0003
Making the angle of the table in the direction of the supporting platform-cradle equal to 5-25° due to the execution of the lower plane of the supporting platform-cradle above the lower plane of the table rails provides the slope necessary for draining honey.
Bending of the skids towards the tilt of the table, starting at a distance of 0.
05-0.3 of the honey extractor diameter from the vertical axis of symmetry of the table, allows the use of containers of various weights, ensuring that honey is drained from the honey extractor, since even with a slight tilt of the table, honey begins to flow out of the honey extractor. In this case, the supporting platform-cradle serves as a table tilt limiter. nine0003
Implementation on the cover of the table of the honey extractor displacement limiter, made in the form of a shoulder along the perimeter of the table or from the side of its inclination, prevents the honey extractor from moving along the surface of the table.
Conducted patent information studies allow us to conclude that the proposed design of the honey extractor table is new, industrially feasible, the signs are not obvious and are aimed at achieving the task set by the proposed invention. nine0003
Figure 1 schematically shows the proposed table in side view before the honey is drained from the honey extractor.
Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of the proposed table with a honey extractor during the draining of honey from the honey extractor.
Figure 3 schematically shows the proposed table, front view.
The proposed table for draining honey from a honey extractor consists of a lid 1 with legs 2 on which skids 3 are fixed in the lower part with a bend 4 in one direction. In the upper part of the bends 4 of the slides 3, a hinged connection of 5 bends with a support platform-cradle 6 is made, on which a container for honey 7 is installed.. The bottom of the support platform - cradle 6 in the initial position is located above the surface on which the table is installed. The beginning of the bends 4 of the runners 3 is made at a distance of 0.05-0.3 of the honey extractor diameter from the vertical axis of symmetry of the table, which ensures the tilt of the table with an increase in the weight of honey in the container located on the supporting platform-cradle 6.
Proposed table for draining honey from the honey extractor works as follows:
After the honey from the frames is at the bottom of the honey extractor 8 and a sufficient amount of it has accumulated, they start draining the honey from the honey extractor into flasks or other containers. To do this, a container 7 is installed on the support platform-cradle 6 under the honey extractor tap into which honey will flow. After opening the tap, honey begins to flow into the container. As the container 7 is filled with honey and it acquires more weight, the table with the help of skids 3 tilts towards the support platform-cradle 6. At the same time, the tilt angle of the table is limited by an angle of 5-25 °. As soon as the lower part of the support platform-cradle 6 reaches the surface on which the table is installed, the tilt of the table stops, and honey from the honey extractor 8 continues to flow out. A flask filled with honey enters the warehouse, a. the honey extractor is used to extract honey from the next batch of honeycomb frames.
