White flakes on the child's scalp

Children's hair is relatively easy to clean because their hair is shorter and can basically be washed once a day. But if your child often has dandruff on his scalp and it can never be washed clean. That needs to be taken seriously, as there may be disease. If it still itches at this time, you may need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Check if there is inflammation on the head. If confirmed, it should be treated immediately.

Children's scalp may have silvery white or white scales, which may be accompanied by itching. These diseases are common in the following diseases:

1. Pityriasis capitis: It is common in adolescence. The strong secretion of male hormones leads to excessive oil secretion, which can easily cause pityriasis capitis.

2. Pityriasis asbestos: It is more common in children, the cause is still unclear, and it manifests as silvery white scales;

3. Psoriasis: It often occurs on the scalp, manifested as skin erythema and silvery-white scales.

It should be a fungal infection. If it is not treated, it may grow more and more. It may also be a vitamin deficiency. It is recommended to see a doctor in person and receive appropriate treatment.

Logically speaking, there wouldn’t be a lot of dandruff at this time because you need to wash your hair frequently. If it were winter, there might be more dandruff. If your baby has this condition, you should pay attention to the possibility of tinea capitis.

That is the dirt formed by the secretions from the baby's scalp and the dust in the air. Mothers can apply baby oil to the baby's scalp, wait for half an hour to soften the dirt, and then use a cotton swab to remove it little by little. It may not be possible to remove it all in one time, and it may take more than a few times.

If it is an infant, you can consider infant eczema. The concept of infant eczema is different from that of adult eczema. Avoid contact with humid environment and apply black bean distilled oil ointment.

Pityriasis alba, also known as simple pityriasis, is a common pityrosacea-like scaly erythematous skin disease. It is commonly known as "peach blossom ringworm" among the people and "worm spots" in traditional Chinese medicine. May be associated with infection with Pityrosporum ovale. Topical imidazole antifungal preparations, such as 2% ketoconazole shampoo.

Is it what is commonly known as milk crust (seborrheic dermatitis)? If so, you can use a sterilized cotton swab dipped in sterilized vegetable oil to apply the milk crust 3 to 4 times a day. After the milk crust softens, you can gently wash it off when taking a bath.
