Cradle cap is the common term for infantile seborrheic dermatitis. Keeping the kittens confined to an area where you can clean and disinfect easily one part chlorax to10 parts water would be best. A major difference between these conditions is that atopic dermatitis usually causes significant itching. It s sometimes confused with another skin condition atopic dermatitis.

Good luck and let us know how you get on. Advantage as fleas are by far the most common reason. At any rate if it is ringworm it is curable and will just take some time for the kittens to clear it 4 8 weeks. Babies are known for their soft smooth skin but cradle cap is common in newborns.

It usually isn t itchy. Humans are a temporary host as they do not like living on us. And she also did a fungial test and it came back negative. She gave him antibotics doggie benydrl and sebozole miconazole nitrate 2 chloroxylenol 1 to shampoo him in twice a week.

I ve a kitten that has patches of crusty skin at first i thought it was good it s very similar to cradle cap in babies this is probably caused by an allergic reaction. Cradle cap is common in newborns. Owners often report it looks like cradle cap in kids dry scalp and a bit flaky.
