I think DD is just getting this now. Any suggestions to treat it? Or do i just leave it alone? Anything I shouldn't do? Thanks!

    My ped had the most odd suggestion I've ever heard - use a little head and shoulders and lightly scrub with a medium bristle toothbrush.

    We haven't done it yet but he's been a pedi for over 30 years so I assume he's not crazy lol

    I used olive oil since it's more natural and used her baby comb after letting it sit for 15 min. Works great! A little work to get it to wash out though.

    We tried both the head and shoulders and the olive oil. For us the oil worked much better. You put it on their scalp, let it soak in for 15 min, then use a soft toothbrush to remove the scales. We have done 2 treatments a few days apart and her scalp is almost healed. We will probably do 1 more treatment this wkd.

    Worked for us too!  But make sure you do olive oil, shampoo, then water...don't put water on the scalp that has olive oil on it or you won't get it out.  And I didn't leave it on for 15 mintues, probably more like 5.

    We've been using baby oil gel and then combing it with a  comb. It's getting better but still not gone. Maybe we'll try olive oil, too.
