How Do You Get Rid Of Dry Itchy Scalp In A Toddler?
Toddlers and babies often suffer from the same skin conditions that affect adults and older children. Dry, itchy scalp is a nuisance and can leave toddlers cranky and irritable. Toddlers can develop a dry, itchy scalp for a variety of reasons, including eczema, dermatitis and cradle cap. If your toddler presents with a dry scalp, consult a pediatrician for an accurate diagnosis before following a home care regimen to treat the itchy scalp.

Rub shampoo in your hands and work up a foamy lather. Apply shampoo to your toddler’s hair and gently massage into the scalp. Pay special attention to sensitive areas that are dry and flaky.
