The best way to treat cradle cap is:
A)
Use cortisone cream on the affected area
B)
Cover the surface with hats or beanies
C)
Wash the area with a mild baby shampoo every day
D)
Use your own shampoo to wash the baby’s head
Never use cortisone cream, or any other treatment cream, without specific recommendation from a physician. Many creams may be toxic to infants, and can be absorbed into your baby’s bloodstream through his or her skin. Do not cover the surface constantly with hats; instead allow it to have access to air. The skin breathing will help heal the surface. Your own shampoo may be too harsh, or have certain chemicals that are dangerous to your baby. You should only use mild baby shampoo for your baby’s baths or washing.

D)
Not spending enough time in “tummy time” positions
If your baby is spending a lot of the day lying, with his or her head flat against a hard surface, they may develop “flat head syndrome”.

Which is not a possible cause of Hypothalamic amenorrhea?
Some medications (e.g. phenothiazines) as well as extremes of weight loss, stress or exercise can cause this type of secondary amenorrhea. A pituitary or hypothalamic tumor would be a rare finding in these patients who were all screened with prolactin levels at the beginning of the diagnostic evaluation. However, if there is no cause apparent from the history, it is sometimes suggested to get a baseline CT or MRI scan of the sellar region to rule out a (very rare) tumor.
