Mothers often see skin peeling on their babies' heads. Some mothers are afraid of giving their babies a headache and dare not clean them. So, what is the reason for skin peeling on the scalp of a two month old baby?
The skin of newborns is very thin because it is not yet fully developed. Moreover, newborns are in amniotic fluid before birth, and after birth, they may not adapt to the environment, causing their skin to contract and make it easier to peel. Medically, it is called fetal scab. It is recommended to use olive oil to wet the baby's head, which has a softening effect, and then use hot water to wash the baby, which will make it easier to wash.
If it is a baby over 2 months old, in the pediatric clinic, it is often seen that some mothers hold a baby with a scab on their scalp. This is because the newborn's scalp is very thin, so it is easy to fall off; Newborns and young infants also have strong secretion functions. You can apply baby lotion or vegetable oil to the scab areas, and then use a comb to remove the scab. Rinse with good shampoo and warm water. Do not directly remove it with a comb, and do not touch it with your hands. After washing your hair, be careful not to let the baby catch a cold. It's best to wear a hat or cover it with a towel until the hair is dry. It is normal for newborns to experience peeling, and it usually recovers slowly. Usually, it can be washed with clean water and massaged with moisturizing oil, so mothers don't have to worry too much, just take good care of their babies.
