What causes baby dandruff?

Generally speaking, dandruff mainly troubles adults, but in the eyes of parents, children also have this problem. In daily life, many babies have a lot of dandruff. If such a young child has such a problem, it must be very worrying for parents. They are afraid that it will have more serious effects on the child, so they are very concerned about the solution. So, what is the reason for babies' dandruff? Let's take a closer look below.

Parents can first observe the condition of their children's dandruff, whether it is simple dandruff or accompanied by hair loss; whether the dandruff sticks to the hair and scalp and will not move or it falls off easily when shaking the hair.

For simple dandruff, it may be caused by psoriasis or pityriasis asbestosis. Baby eczema may also cause dandruff. Girls who tie their hair too tightly or use hairspray may also develop dandruff, but it can easily fall off by shaking it. Dandruff is also accompanied by hair loss, which is usually related to fungal infection. If the child is older or in adolescence, it may be related to seborrheic dermatitis. Eating too greasy food, staying up late, dry weather in autumn and winter, and constipation will aggravate the symptoms of dandruff.

The first thing to do is to determine the cause of dandruff. Methods like using rice water, vinegar, beer, etc. to wash hair as suggested by mothers are all aimed at dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis, but they are not effective for everyone.

Generally speaking, don't wash your hair too often, twice a week is enough, and you can adjust it appropriately according to your personal situation.

In addition, children's skin development is not mature enough, so it is best to choose weak alkaline, moisturizing toiletries. If conditions permit, it is best to use special children's toiletries, which are less irritating.

Children's dandruff is related to diet, environment and lifestyle habits. Nowadays, children eat too well, which causes them to develop prematurely and have oily scalp which can also cause dandruff. Living in a humid, stuffy and poorly ventilated environment can also cause dandruff. If your scalp is too oily, it is best to eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods. At this time, you may want to eat some mung beans, coix seeds, etc., and also wash your hair with tea leaves and salt soaked in water.

After understanding the cause of baby dandruff, you can take appropriate measures to solve the problem when similar situations occur. Children's bodies are relatively delicate, and any small problem may cause great harm. Especially when choosing toiletries, special attention should be paid to avoid negative effects.
