Homeopathy helps with Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis (cradle cap) is a skin condition of babies that presents with scaly, yellow patches on the scalp. It tends to clear up within the first 6 months of life, it is not contagious and is totally harmless. The biology of the condition is that there is an excess amount of sebum (oil) produced in the hair follicles.
