Exzema in hair ?

7 replies

My DD had cradle cap as a baby. Now she's 2.7 and has really nasty scabby bits on her head like exzema plaques/scabs that are really thick. She has mild exzema. They are pickable and lift easily but the two I've taken off were accompanied by clumps of hair Shock She has really fine blond hair so I'm pretty worried about lots more dropping out ( it's not all over just about 3 patches about 1 cm square ) Any body else's lo had this and whats the best treatment ?

TIA

My ds, has psoriasis, (only on his scalp), which flares up now and again, I use t-gel, but dont use it on a regular basis as it is very strong. HTH.

Thanks Red37 I'll give this a try somebody else suggested Tgel at work.

my friend had really bad psoriasis and found that anti chlorine shampoo (the stuff to use after swimming) helped her

My ds had exzema in his hair when he was about a year - I used to cover his head in aveeno (which I use on his body) before he went to bed each night - this really helped.

Both DS and DD have this, which is awful, just as you think its cleared another bit pops up!! The GP gave me some Nizoral for DS (6) which does work, but use sparingly, I'm still using cradlecap creams woth DD (2). If anyone has any help with this I would be really grateful!!
