How Can Dandruff On The Fontanelle Area Be Treated?
Hi! my two months old daughter develops a thin layer of white dandruff, or so i presume, only on her fontanelle area, every after 3/4 days. she doesnt have dandruff anywhere else on her scalp though....so I m not sure if it is dandruff....pls advise....I routinly wash it away when shes in the bath.....is that ok?...FYI: I do give her an olive oil full body/head massage every day.

Hi,
I suggest that you use Nizoral shampoo only locally in that area on alternate days for two weeks.
You can give her the oil bath which you have suggested no problem in that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
