Hi my 4 months old daughter had a vry dry skin. I applied olive oil, almond oil and baby oil but non is working, she is feeling itching as well. My question is should I use vaseline to her face n is it safe to use on head?

[ozzzii]

Or what should I do?

No vaseline! It sounds like she has cradle cap. Please consult with her doctor about what to use to ease this.

Is she itchy all over? Have you tried a baby lotion, they're available in most stores with a baby section. Put it on after bath time.

How often do you bathe her? Are you using a baby detergent to wash her clothes (most regular detergents can cause irritation).

This sounds like it's either a case of dry skin (baby's skin is very sensitive, if it's not properly cared for it can become dry and itchy) or cradle cap (if it's only restricted to her head, which you didn't specify).

Of course we can only guess. If you want an actual diagnosis you'll need to see a doctor.

You had a thread about this last month. Have you taken your child to the doctor yet?

Good catch. I guess the answer is no, no doctor yet. :(

I took her for the vaccination 4 days ago, I ask the doctor and he answer me verbally " just put moisturizer" like nothing happened...

She feels itchy on head n face, bath every alternate days or sometime everyday.

I'd see a dermatologist.
