Question
My baby is over 3 weeks old, and as soon as winter comes, their scalp becomes very dry. There are white patches on the scalp, and the hair sometimes sticks together. It has to be washed every day to get rid of it. What’s going on? Is it a skin condition? My daughter already has quite dry skin, and her body is also dry. We use moisturizing cream, but what about the scalp?
Answer
Baby’s dry scalp in winter may be due to internal yin deficiency, and it requires internal adjustment. It is recommended to use nutrient-rich shampoos and to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of hot water, to supplement vitamins and zinc, balance internal nutrition, and improve hair and scalp quality.
