raw spot on back of head

My LO will move his head back and forth as he gets settled in to sleep. This has made a semi raw bald spot on the back of his head. Any suggestion or do I just not worry about it and it will heal after he can move all around?

Re: raw spot on back of head

  • My LO does this when he is on my chest.  His cheek stays rough.  I try and keep it coated with Aquiphor.  You could possibly do the same.  Just make sure the area is clean and dry first.  Just keep putting it on there.
  • Raw how? A bald spot is completely normal but not sure about it being raw?

  • Raw? Bald is normal and it will grow back as he get spends more time on his tummy.

    It gets red, but then again he is pretty pale. I guess it is bald with some dry skin sometimes. I just started putting Aquaphor on it after baths.
