Seborrhea on the head: causes of the appearance in infants
The active work of internal systems in newborn babies in the first months of life and the close location of the sebaceous glands, which are also much more than in children of the middle age group, contribute to the occurrence of this phenomenon. Seborrhea on the head is found in almost every second baby, because, as already mentioned, the sebaceous and sweat glands in them work in an enhanced mode.
There are other factors that contribute to the appearance of flakes:
- improperly selected baby shampoo;
- overheating, causing increased work of sweat glands;
- allergic predisposition;
- daily shampooing (causes dry skin and causes the glands to produce more sebum).
Only by eliminating these causes, you can completely get rid of the disease.
