subject: Scalp Eczema and Your Child [print this page] They will have discomfort and social anxiety with this type of skin disorder. Not only is the rash flaky, it is also very itchy. The rash can become crusted and dry, creating bumps that are raised around the ears. And if you are prone to developing recurring skin rashes, your child probably will too. However, there are ways to stop the rash in the hair and go back to living a normal life.
It is always a good idea to monitor what your child is eating. That way you can see whether or not there are certain foods that may cause your child to have a reaction. Some common foods that have been known to cause skin allergies are eggs, wheat, and dairy and certain types of nuts If your child is in pre-school, find out what foods and substances they are coming in contact with and determine if they are too harsh for your child's skin sensitivity. Check with the teacher about the types of snacks that are served.
The sebaceous gland in the scalp secretes oil, and if it secretes in excess, can cause rashes on the head. My son used to love to wear baseball hats, and his scalp would be sweaty by the time he came home from school. I had to limit the amount of time he wore the caps and allow his scalp some air. That cut down the amount of sweat his scalp secreted. We also increased the amount of times he washed his hair so that the sweat would not build up. For your child, if they have itching, scaly rashes, you should use shampoos or conditioners that contain coconut, zinc, or yucca.
As far as their diet intake, you need to get them to eat lots of leafy green vegetables. This will give them the nutrients they need to help them repair their skin.
