3yo dandruff

4 replies

Mamabear04 · 07/03/2023 08:48

My 3yo seems to have developed dandruff in the past 2 weeks. Initially I checked for nits and then she had chickenpox on her scalp but it definitely seems she has dandruff. I bought e45 dry scalp shampoo and have used it once but its not made a difference. She has VERY sensitive skin and can only cocobutter moisturiser otherwise every other one stings even zerobase. Any recommendations or tips? I brush her hair every morning and wash it 1-2 times a week depending on how grotty she is. Thanks.

Ps I also avoid soaps and wash her with water because again her skin is so sensitive

I would try Dentinox cradle cap shampoo at her age. Is it white dry flakes like dandruff or more yellowy waxy flakes like cradle cap?

No it's definitely white flakes! Do you think it will be OK for sensitive skin though?

I don't know, sorry. I just found it effective and gentle for dry scalp. But my kids don't have particularly sensitive skin.
