Dry crusty scalp and hair falling out in 2 year old

3 replies

iwonder24 · 08/04/2015 17:11

My DS has a patch of thick dry crusty skin on his head which I discovered a couple of days ago under his hair. When I've looked at it and peeled a couple of lumps off (I know I shouldn't but it's soooo hard to resist) his hair comes off with it. He had cradle cap as a baby and my 3 month old currently has cradle cap and that is a waxy yellowy/orange colour where as this is dryer and browny.

He also has patches of excema on his body so could this be due to that?

Anyone have any tips on how to get rid of it?

Hi iwonder24,

I'd recommend the Forever Living Aloe Vera Gelly to use on eczema when the wound is open and sore. Which can be found using this link:

Then follow with the Propolis Creme for when it becomes dry & flakey.

As all the ingredients are natural, the products are fine to use on children.

Hope this helps,

Cradle cap is a fungus iirc.

Use dentinox shampoo on both baby and toddler to get rid of the fungus.
Dentinox was the only thing that got rid of my dcs cradle cap and I used everything. It's a beautiful shampoo, and smells lightly of roses.

Don't share brushes or hats.
