Dry Skin Behind Ears, Cradle Cap, Scabs, Ear Infection, Bleeding Behind Ears. Is It Serious?
My 3 month old has dry skin behind his ears, it looks like craddle cap almost but there is also some scabs as well. He has had this for a while but he also has had an ear infection for at least 3 weeks but I dont know if that is related or not. Any ideas on if it is just dry skin or something more serious since there has been some bkeeding behind tge ears.

hi corby
welcome to HCM
ON analysing your symptoms your child seems to be suffering from allergic dermatitis.
your kids ear infection needs to be addressed as early as possible,
some precautionary measures while breast feeding and essentiality of the child burping after each feeding prevents the milk from nasopharyngeal reflux (to cause middle ear infection)
keep us posted
