This is a condition named cradle cap and it is a common occurrence during the first few months of a baby's life. Sometimes it can be crusty and once in a while it can appear yellowish. This is caused by an over production of oil in the baby's glands--it is kind of like when an adult gets dandruff. This is not a serious condition and will usually clear up all by itself. Rubbing an almond oil or olive oil on your baby's head can help clear it up more quickly. Sometimes the condition will become more severe and that is when your doctor might need to prescribe a medicated ointment or shampoo. Baby skin care is something all parents should be concerned with, as infants have thin and fragile skin.
