Cradle Cap Specialist

At Alloroots, Dr. Alok Kumar Sahoo (MD Dermatology, AIIMS New Delhi) provides specialist care for cradle cap. Parents can book a doctor-led cradle cap treatment with an individualised plan, private consultations, and evidence-based guidance. Cradle cap appears as yellow or white scales on an infant’s scalp and is managed with gentle cleansing and targeted medical care after assessment.

Understanding cradle cap and treatment options

Cradle cap is a non-contagious infant seborrheic dermatitis. It often clears within months but may need specialist evaluation to rule out other scalp issues. At Alloroots, treatment can include baby-safe shampoos, soft scalp brushing, emollients, or mild antifungal agents when indicated. Plans are tailored to age, skin sensitivity, and parental preferences, with clear guidance from the first visit.

Related scalp concern services

Alloroots also treats other scalp conditions in children and adults. Parents may seek tinea capitis treatment for fungal infections or premature hair greying treatment for older children. All services follow a doctor-led, privacy-first approach, with treatments chosen after examination and discussion of family history.

Booking and consultation access

Parents can choose in-clinic or online consultations. In-clinic visits allow detailed scalp examination; bringing recent health records and information on products used helps the doctor advise effectively. Online sessions may include sharing photos for initial review, with physical examination arranged if needed. Clinics operate on weekdays, with select weekend slots available in some locations.
