Topical, Non-Medicated Loyon in Facilitating the Removal of Scaling in Infants and Children with Cradle Cap: A Proof-of-Concept Pilot Study

This pilot study assessed the efficacy and safety of the non-medicated topical solution LOYON® for treating cradle cap in 20 infants and children aged 3-36 months. Over an 8-day period, LOYON® was applied up to three times, resulting in 80% of participants experiencing a reduction in scaling intensity, with 50% achieving significant treatment success. The product was well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events, and parents rated it positively. The study concluded that LOYON® was a safe and effective alternative to home remedies, offering a gentle and rapid approach to scale removal, though further research with larger trials was recommended.
