Q: My grandson has crater cap fungus. He is 4 months old and having this problem since last two weeks. Will you please suggest what we have to do in this respect?

A:Soften the scales with lukewarm coconut oil, then scrub it off. Use mild cetrilak lotion for washing the scalp. If there is no response, consult a dermatologist.
