How to Put the Smackdown on Cradle Cap in Kids!

The unique point about this title is that you probably have never heard of cradle cap unless your baby has this form of eczema.
Babies often suffer from birth until about the age 6months and even older with this form of dermatitis, which forms around the crown of the babies head and is also known as seborrhoea dermatitis.
Interestingly enough, this baby condition, which can be a very horrific site, is linked to the baby having a low amount of biotin. Biotin is a B vitamin that is needed for the formation of fatty acids and glucose, which are essential for the production of energy, metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. To fend off cradle cap, give your baby biotin in the form of smashed bananas, carrots, and egg yolks; this should do wonders to alleviate the cradle cap symptom over time.
Although babies at birth have very soft skin, eczema in babies can develop in the natural folds of the skin where perspiration can be trapped.
Also, parents of babies with cradle cap, if there is a sensitivity or a genetic link to other family members who have a predisposition to asthma, eczema, psoriasis, or other allergies then an ounce of prevention is better than a cure. Eczema cannot be cured only lessened. See the website: http://www.eczemaandyourlife.com for more baby tips related to eczema and how eczema can affect your life.
