3 yo itchy scalp - not headlice!

3 replies

Hi

My 3 year old DD has been suffering with an itchy scalp for the last 3 weeks or so.

We haven't changed her regulary washing products and there's no rash/lumps & bumps that I can see.

I've checked her regularly for headlice as there was a case in her nursery a few weeks ago but there's definitely no sign of them.

Can anyone recommend anything for this?

I was considering the Vosene 3in1 kids shampoo as it has tea tree & I thought this may at least sooth it a bit for her.

Thanks in advance!

My 2 yr old GD was suffering with the same. Went to doc yesterday he said infant psoriasis. Given prescription. He said probably aggrivated by hot weather.

My friend had this we thought it was an allergic reaction to the dust (her house is being renovated) the dr said it was eczema and prescribed numerous potions but after washing her hair in coal tar soap the itch has gone.
