Baby's skin is delicate, and novice parents also lack experience in taking care of their children. If the baby's head itches, they will unconsciously scratch it all the time. The baby can't control the force and often gets scratched, with blood flowing from the head and visible nail marks, which makes the parents feel heartbroken. It's not good for babies with itchy heads to scratch like this. Here are a few ways for parents to share. Now let's take a look at what to do if babies with itchy heads scratch their heads.
What should I do if my baby's head itches and gets scratched
1. Nail cutting: Nail cutting is not only to prevent scratching the baby's skin, but also for hygiene and to prevent bacterial growth.
2. Helping babies scratch their heads: You can gently help them scratch their heads, of course, this is just a relief, and be sure to pay attention to the strength. Scratching gently can make adult nails much harder than children's.
3. Washing hair: You can help your baby wash their hair or wipe it with a damp towel. Also wipe his ears, and after washing, you can wipe some talcum powder.
Reasons for itchy baby's head
1. Eczema: Eczema is a disease regardless of age or gender. If children suffer from eczema, they are likely to experience symptoms of itchy scalp.
2. Excessive skin oil: There is a lot of sweat on the body, and the hair is greasy and unpleasant. Once the skin oil on the head is secreted too much, it will cause the invasion of Malassezia bacteria, leading to more and more dandruff and scalp itching. At this time, it is necessary to wash your hair frequently.
3. Fungi: Malassezia likes to grow on our scalp, and as we develop, it will increase in number.
4. Dry skin: They do not pay attention to hygiene habits, do not wash their hair frequently, and still like to run and play around. They dare to go to places with a lot of dust. Over time, the child's scalp will produce a lot of dandruff, and the scalp will gradually itch.
Children are young and do not know whether they are hygienic or not. Out of curiosity about everything, they want to explore everything they see. Therefore, as parents, we must pay attention to our children's cleaning work. Children's skin resistance is relatively weak, and they are very sensitive to unhygienic things. If you don't pay attention to cleanliness, the bacteria accumulated over time will become the main culprit that harms children's skin. Therefore, it is important to help children develop good hygiene habits from a young age, which is also a way to protect themselves.
