Extreme Dry Scalp On Babys Head

Have you checked with the pediatrician? Did your baby have cradle cap?

 

Have you tried coconut oil. Apply on his body/head after taking bath also. It will be absorbed well. You can also try olive oil
If doctors advice you to give antibiotics for staph, please do that. It can turn serious sometimes. It is Ok to take antibiotics, if needed. They also suggest the use of antibacterial soap and lotions. Please consult them. Also be careful with towels etc. Dont use warm water for long to wash his head. It can make the skin dry again.

 

Hi,

I am in the same boat and dropped in to see if anyone has any suggestions. Recently I have started to do castor oil . Though it's not completely solving the issue the baby's skin is much better. The skin over my baby's legs was leathery and very rough. It did not become silky smooth but much better. You probably know this already but you need to apply oil after the bath on the wet skin. If you find something that works please share.

Hi Anothermom- my daughter is 10 month old had the same condition, very dry scalp- what really helped is just rubbing some raw milk on her scalp and leaving it on for an hour- the just wash with water and comb- try not to use any shampoo, hope this helps

 

Hi,
For body you can apply Aveeno Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm. It helped a lot for my daughter who had eczema. It made her skin very soft, no eczema now for her. For head you can apply olive oil on hair before bath.
That helped my daughter.
