Cradle cap, spreading to cheek?

Greetings!

My daughter has had cradle cap from birth (now 6 months) and we have also battled thrush. I am suspecting I may also have candida...

She had a patch behind her ear about two weeks ago that became very red, open, and looks sore. I've been alternating propolis cream and an herbal salve, and spraying it with calcerea carbonica, as well as preparing a wet dose for her. I have been dissolving 5 tabs in one ounce of water, and giving her a 1/2 tsp. 3x/day.

Three days ago, she had a few red spots on her cheek, the cheek by her affected ear. It is now blossoming into a rash, or many red bumps. Her lips appear dry. Her sleep has been deeper than it has been recently. Her bowel movements have not changed much, but appear a bit more watery than before. She is exclusively breast fed.

As background, I know she is milk/wheat sensitive, but I have been eating these foods in the past two weeks due to social circumstance...will stop all now!

so much gratitude for your thoughts!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
In what potency do you give your child calc carb?

I'm using Boiron, it's a 30c.
I am a novice user. Especially since a wet dose should be 4oz of water for 5 pellets? I just remember the homeopath here locally gave this direction for my daughter when we asked about colic remedies.

Please stop giving her Calc Carb 30 and report back after one week.
