Question

How to remove milk crust from a newborn’s scalp?

Answer

First, use vegetable oil to soak the milk crust, then gently comb through it to remove. If the milk crust is thick, it may be necessary to soak it multiple times and wait until the milk crust is fully softened before combing. Do not scrape or forcibly remove the milk crust to avoid skin damage and infection.
