    Could be soap? Maybe lotion you are using?

    Since I cannot physically examine the baby I can't tell you what it is. You will have to take him to the pediatrician for a proper diagnosis.

    The scalp could be cradle cap, but I can't tell you that for sure without seeing the baby with my own eyes.
