Question
My baby is 5 months old and suddenly developed a patch of bumps on the top of their head. It doesn’t look like milk crust. Sometimes it’s red. What might be the cause?
Answer
Abnormalities in a baby’s scalp are often a normal part of growth and development and usually do not require special treatment, as they can heal on their own. However, if symptoms such as itching, pain, or unusual crying occur, it is recommended to observe the baby’s reactions and gently wash the scalp with honeysuckle water. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take the baby to a dermatologist as soon as possible to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
