Cradle Cap: Carefulness Is Enough

Many neonatal diseases are harmful and get cured in course of time, even without any medical treatment. Hence, they are not taken seriously, and they should not be. Being aware of this, many people make the mistake of ignoring some harmless neonatal diseases. Cradle cap is such a disease, harmless but not to be ignored altogether.

It is true that there is no chance of the disease to take a harmful turn and get infectious. But it has been noticed that cradle cap sometimes spreads over the other parts of the body. Sometimes the affected area also become very hard and looks ugly. A little carefulness will suffice to prevent this disease from taking a harmful turn. No sustained medical treatment will be required, only carefulness will be enough.
