Every baby will have a period of time after birth when their skin peels and scabs, especially on the scalp. This is not a disease, but a normal phenomenon after being born after being immersed in amniotic fluid, encountering air, and undergoing metabolism. Next, let's talk about how to remove scalp scabs in babies?
1. Vegetable oil cleaning can be done with vegetable oil, olive oil, or almond oil. Heat and disinfect, then cool and set aside. Apply the oil to the baby's scalp and let it sit for a few hours or a day. Once the scab is softened, gently comb it with a small comb and it will fall off. It is best to use a softer and less sharp baby specific comb. Repeat this process a few times and it will fall off completely.
2. Shampoo and whey washing method, shampoo instead of shampoo, emulsion is a mixture of oil and water. It is recommended to use mild baby shampoo for babies, but do not pour it on the baby's scalp. Gently apply it to the baby's scalp with scabs and rub it gently with your hands. The baby will feel very comfortable and will cooperate well. After several washes, it will be clean.
At the same time, parents are reminded not to forcefully scratch their baby's scalp when it has scabs, as this may harm the baby's delicate scalp, and if the baby does not cooperate, they may also come into contact with underdeveloped fontanelle, causing very serious consequences. And no matter which method is adopted, there are strict requirements for the choice of oil or shampoo, so be careful not to be careless.
