After birth, a yellow or brown, scaly substance called smegma will form on the anterior fontanelle and brow area of the baby's head. This type of tire dirt is difficult to clean even with shampoo or soap, and it becomes thicker over time before it becomes difficult to clean. Many parents may ask how to deal with fetal smegma on their baby's head and eyebrows?
1. Smegma generally does not affect the baby's health and does not cause itching. Baby's skin is delicate and the stratum corneum is thin, so it is easy to damage. Fetal smegma can actually provide some protection for baby's skin, so parents don't need to pay too much attention to it.
2. If the tire scale is too thick, the mother can use appropriate methods to clean it. You can wipe the disinfected vegetable oil on the surface, then apply it with wet gauze for a few hours. After removing the gauze, gently comb it with a small comb or wipe it gently with gauze. The tire scale will slowly remove, and then rinse it with water. If the baby's fetal smegma is thick, it may not be able to be completely cleaned at once. You can try several times, but the movements must be gentle and pay attention to drying the baby's hair in a timely manner to avoid catching a cold.
3. Many elderly people believe that baby's smegma cannot be cleaned, fearing that it may damage the fontanelle or catch a cold. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this. Parents can handle it according to the actual situation of their baby, but even if it is not cleaned, fetal smegma will gradually disappear.
