Suggest Remedy For Hair Fall Problem
Just recently I noticed my 14 month old daughter has hairs on the back of her shirt and on her crib sheets. If I wet my hands and run them through her hair I will get 3-4 hairs on my hand. Is this normal? She also still has a little bit of cradle cap that never went away. Could that be the reason??

Hi,
You are right. Your daughter has cradle cap..seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp which is responsible for the hair fall. So do not worry. Excessive hair fall may be prevented after curing the scalp disease. Apply mild steroid lotion ...like mometasone and shampoo with clotrimazole and selenium containing shampoo. Multivitamin syrup may be given. Still, you consult dermatologist personally for perfect treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
