Every parent hopes that their baby will be clean, refreshing, and beautiful every day. If the baby has rashes, white spots, or other symptoms on their body, not only will the baby feel uncomfortable, but parents will also feel sorry for the baby and worry about it. So what if a one year old baby has dandruff?
One year old babies with dandruff may be caused by the following two reasons:
1. Milk scab
If the baby is not bathed by professional caregivers after birth, the oil, sweat, amniotic fluid residue, and dust on the baby's head will mix together and form thick milk crusts over time. Baby's milk crust is thin and thick, and can peel off, so some parents may look like dandruff.
2. Seborrheic eczema
If a baby's parents or elders have excessive oil on their head, the baby may inherit these characteristics. In addition, if the baby's care environment is not very hygienic, bacteria can parasitize in these oils, forming skin inflammation and causing the skin to fall off, like dandruff.
So when babies are just born, they must be carefully washed and taken care of. In the process of taking care of babies, attention should also be paid to their hygiene, and babies should be bathed regularly. If the baby's head has heavy milk crusts, forming eczema, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, apply medication to the baby's head to alleviate the symptoms, and prohibit the baby from scratching the milk crusts on the head to prevent skin infections and worsen the condition.
