Article: Allow the oil or jelly to soak in for 15 minutes. This will soften and loosen the crusts, making them easier to remove.  Because chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, including the scalp, be sure to read the manufacturers’ labels on the products to be sure that they are safe for babies. Don’t leave the oil/jelly on the baby, because this will make the crusts sticky and prevent them from naturally coming off. Coconut oil and shea butter are common natural remedies that can be applied.  Don’t use olive oil because it may encourage the growth of skin yeasts, or malassezia, and this may make the cradle cap worse.  Wash the oil off with warm water. This will also remove any natural oils that may have built up and caused dead skin cells to stick to the scalp, forming scales.  While shampooing gently massage the scalp to soften and loosen the scales. This can be done with your fingers, a washcloth, or a soft bristled baby brush. Don't scrub your baby's skin too hard, or you could irritate it. Don’t use dandruff shampoos because they may contain chemicals that aren’t recommended for babies and could be absorbed through the skin. This would only cause further irritation.  Thoroughly rinse all of the shampoo out of the baby’s hair to prevent irritation and if necessary, shampoo the baby daily. Strands of hair may come away with the flakes, but the hair will grow back. Don’t pick at the scales as this may cause an open wound which will make the baby vulnerable to an infection. Brushing the flakes out will be easiest after the bath when the baby is dry. When the flakes are wet, they will stick to the hair.

Rub a small amount of mineral oil, baby oil, or petroleum jelly into the scaly patches. Shampoo the baby gently with a mild baby shampoo to remove the oil/jelly and scales. Brush the loosened flakes out of the baby’s hair with a soft brush.
Article: Ointments seal the burn, and may actually prevent healing if you apply them too soon. For first-degree burns, wait 24 hours before you apply any burn care or other ointments. If you are not near a medical facility and you have a second-degree burn, apply bacitracin ointment (an antibiotic) to the burn to prevent infection as you get to treatment. This is the only situation in which you should apply bacitracin to burned skin. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that numbs nerve endings in the skin, providing relief from burn pain. The pharmacy may have any of a variety of benzocaine brands such as Anacaine, Chiggerex, Mandelay, Medicone, Outgro, or Solarcaine. Furthermore, these products are available in a wide variety of applications: cream, spray, liquid, gel, ointment, or wax. Read the instructions on the package to learn the correct application method and dosage. Make sure not to overuse benzocaine, as it soaks into the skin more easily than some other local anesthetics. You can relieve some of the pain from a minor burn by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. An oral NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as ibuprofen or naproxen will help relieve pain and inflammation from the burn. Follow all dosing instructions on the packaging. Take the smallest dose that is effective at relieving your pain. If cold water doesn't make the pain diminish, shaving cream is a surprisingly effective solution! Shaving creams like Barbasol contain a chemical called triethanolamine. Triethanolamine is an active ingredient in Biatine, a prescription cream used to treat even severe burns in hospital settings. Just spread it over the affected skin and leave it alone until the pain goes down.  Avoid mentholated shaving creams, as they may cause further irritation. This should only be considered when you have a first-degree burn. Do not attempt this method with a burn that is any more severe than a sunburn.

Do not apply burn ointments for the first 24 hours. Find over-the-counter benzocaine products. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Spread shaving cream over the burn site.
Article: Measure the temperature of the oil with a candy thermometer.   Using tongs or a mesh sieve, lower the brownie bite into the hot oil.   Place the brownie bites on a plate that has been covered with three paper towels. The paper towels will absorb the oil from the brownie bites so that they do not turn soggy.  Tap the side of the sieve so that the confectioner’s sugar sifts through and dusts the top of the brownie bites.

Place a pan of oil in a Dutch oven and heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Whisk together the flour, milk, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and place the bowl next to the stovetop. Remove the chilled brownies from the refrigerator and slice them with a butter knife into bite-sized pieces, about 1" (2.5 centimeters) in both length and width. Roll a brownie bite in the flour mixture until it is thoroughly covered. Continue battering brownie bites until the Dutch oven is full but not crowded. Fry the brownie bites for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove the brownie bites from the pan with tongs or a mesh sieve. Batter and fry additional brownie bites until you have completed the entire batch. Place confectioner’s sugar in a sieve over the top of the brownie bites. Serve the bites warm on a small plate with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
