Some new babies get a swelling on the scalp because of bleeding under the skin at birth. This is normal, won’t do any harm, and can take a few weeks to go away (show your health visitor if you are anxious). Most babies also get cradle cap–scaly, flaky skin on the scalp. It’s not dandruff or scurvy, and you can remove some of it by massaging the top of your baby’s head with olive oil. Or just ignore it–it’s normal and harmless and will go away eventually.
