Dear Customer
Welcome, and thank you for trusting us.
How to Deal With Severe Dandruff in Babies
- If your baby's scalp has flaky, dry skin that looks like dandruff, or thick, oily, yellowish or brown scaling or crusting patches, it's probably cradle cap.
- call it infantile seborrheic dermatitis, and it's very common
- Most often appear in the first few months of your babie life and usually clears up in about six to 12 months
- Cradle cap isn't contagious. And it probably doesn't bother your baby at all, although if it gets severe it might itch.
You don't really need to do anything, but if it bothers you, here are some things to try:
- Gently massage your baby's scalp with your fingers or a soft brush to loosen the scales.
- Shampoo more frequently but be sure to rinse out all the soap or shampoo. After shampooing, gently brush your baby's scalp with a soft brush or a terrycloth towel.
- Some parents have had success using baby shampoos developed especially for cradle cap.
- use natural oil such as almond or olive oil on your baby's scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes.
- Wash your baby's scalp with a gentle baby shampoo. The last thing you want to do is leave oil on your baby's head, which could clog the pores and cause the flakes to stick. Try leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes before rinsing, to help cut the oil.
- if the scalp is inflamed, a cortisone cream.
- if a yeast infection could be to blame, will recommend a topical antifungal medication such as Dactazole cream.
causes of Severe Dandruff in Babies
- The cause is unknown. But is not caused by poor hygiene or allergies.
- may cause of the hormones a baby receives from his mother at the end of pregnancy .
- Irritation from a yeast grows in the sebum.
