Hi, my son has a scaly scalp problem since he was a baby. I asked 3 different pediatricians to look at it, and they all said it's a cradle cap, and just to use some dandruff shampoo and rub baby oil on his scalp, and he'll outgrow it on his own.
He's almost 7 now, and the scaly scalp is there still. If I try to pull on it, the entire scalp skin came off with all the hair attached to it. Then it seems new ones will form, so it won't go away.
Has anyone seen this problem with your kid before? How did you combat this problem? I am pretty desperate, and now my boy is at the age where he's aware of his appearance, and he's asking why he got "stuff" on his scalp. Oh and when I pull it out, he says it hurts.
Thank you in advance.

My 8 year old son has this as well. His pediatrician prescribed Mometasone Furoate Topical Solution USP, 0.1%. I put a few drops on the crusty part and it disappears over a week or two. Now, I try to give him frequent showers and after shampooing, I will brush his hair in the area that is prone to this.
Hope this helps!!! |
