Cleaning method of newborn scab: make baby healthy and comfortable.

The yellow-white scab on newborn scalp is a mixture of natural secretions and dust from baby's delicate skin. Although it usually does not bring discomfort to the baby, it is unsanitary after all and may also affect heat dissipation. For the sake of baby's health and comfort, we should clean it regularly. But many parents try to wash with soap or soap, which may irritate their baby's skin. Next, we will introduce a milder and more scientific method.

Gentle cleaning method

You can choose vegetable oil or paraffin oil to soften the scab, then gently apply gauze on your head and wait for 24 hours. Then gently comb with gauze or a small comb, and the scab will naturally fall off. Remember to move gently, avoid overexertion or scratching with hard objects, so as not to damage your baby's scalp.

Matters needing attention

After cleaning, wash the scalp with warm water and gently absorb the water with a towel. If the baby's scalp is eczema instead of scabbing, the treatment method will be different. Therefore, it is best to consult a doctor before treatment.
