Looks like cradle cap. But don’t worry, it’ll go off on its own. If you wanna speed it up, apply olive oil, let sit for at least 10 mins and massage/brush gently during shower.

I don't apply anything. Clean after 6months. Near the brain so I try not to touch. And use warm water and towel to wipe gentle

Hi... it will go off naturally. However, you can apply olive or coconut oil to speed up the process

It will eventually came off. Just continue to bathe him.
