Brief Answer:
Suggestions on dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hi...I request you to upload a photograph of the scalp of the baby for a more specific guidance.

Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

If this is not possible -

1. Wash the baby's scalp with Spoo Baby shampoo and then apply Nizoral shampoo mildly and wash away.

You can follow this twice a week for 6 weeks and another suggestion is not to apply any oil to the scalp as it will aggravate the condition.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
