My 5 month old has always had dry skin on her head and cradle cap. Recently, as she has gained more control of her hands she is able to scratch quite badly and it bleeds slightly.
Obviously, I keep her nails short and cover her hands at night (this is when she really goes for it).
What I really need is advice for what to use to help the itching. I have used olive oil and currently I am trying E45, neither seem to relieve her. Anyone had a similar experience and what did they find that worked well for them?
TIA
