Hi,
My DS has cradle cap and it looks like where the crustys are coming off there are little pimples moving in. He has hair so you can't really seem them but I am wondering if anyone elses bub has experienced this. I wonder if they are itchy or sore... They look a little nasty, they are red with a white head. He doesn't seem to be worried about them. Also, my DS is 4 months old.. How often do you wash your bubs hair? Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks. xxoo
We've had cradle cap, but I haven't noticed the pimples you are talking about so I can't be much help! I think they have excess oil on their scalps so that probably explains the pimples. Have you tried using bicarb soda on them? You can mix it with water to make a paste and rub in on his head. This got rid of my DS's cradle cap and I wonder if it would work for pimples.
I wash my DS's hair every second or third day with Gaia shampoo, otherwise I just rinse it with water. I worry about drying his scalp out if I wash it too much.
THanks Trish.. .I didn't think I was going to get a reply.. LOL - I haven't tried bicarb soda so might give that a go and see if that helps. It seems to be a little bit itchy at the moment as well so I might give him a good going over in the bath tonight. THanks for your input. Micky xxoo
No worries Micky! I used the bicarb soda paste on his head every night for a week, but I noticed improvement almost as soon as I started doing it. I hope it works! :)
