A neonate can develop various abnormal symptoms immediately after its birth. Some of them may be because of infection or any virus working in its body. Others may be caused by the elements of the body of the mother still working in the body of the child. One such symptom is cradle cap. It is a skin condition generally found among the babies of two to three months of age.
Far from being a harmful disease, it is simply a skin condition that does not require any serious treatment to be cured. The actual reason behind cradle cap is not defined clearly by dermatologists. Some of them opine that it is caused by the glands that produce sweat and oil in a highly reactive state. There is strong possibility that it is caused by the build-up of sweat and oil produced by these overactive glands.
