Anything I can do for it? We don't wash his hair everyday but his poor scalp is dry.

Re: Baby dry scalp

  • E had a bad rash all over her body a few weeks ago and her scalp got really dry as it was healing. Our pedi told me that I could get some 1% hydrocortizone cream and mix it with a little water to thin it out and massage it into her scalp (or face or anywhere else).

    My ped said to put baby oil on it but I've read that you can use extra virgin olive oil too. I'm sure coconut oil would work also.

    This and then gently scrub it with a baby brush. If its more severe, low strength steroid cream but try oil first.
