2. Scratching the head is caused by dry skin. When bathing, do not use bath gel, and apply some lotion after washing. If there are faint red spots, it may be due to the heat. Cut your baby's nails frequently. When your baby feels itchy, try to rub the itchy area as much as possible to reduce the possibility of scratching.
