Hi hear you ... DP & i would say how DD's scalp smelt like a dog (how sad is that but true) ... and me too was worried about what others thought, like i don't bath her or something ... So, my maternal nurse recommended Hydraderm cream (get the one in the TUB not pump bottle as this one isn't concentrate or thick enough) ... Can buy Hydraderm in Priceline (buy the small tub at first to try it) ...

I would massage it into DD's dry scalp for about 5-10mins once a week in the morning & leave it on for 1 hour (or a tad longer) and then wash it off with just water while bathing her. Her hair would be a little greasy for about 2 days.

My Maternal Nurse & GP suggested to also do the old-fashion way & scrap off manually with your fingernails BUT be careful to not nick the skin !!
