You don't remove a baby's scalp from their head. The question likely refers to cradle cap, a harmless condition that causes scaly, greasy patches on a baby's scalp. You can safely remove these scales by:
- Washing your baby's hair daily with a mild baby shampoo.
- Gently rubbing their scalp with your fingers or a washcloth to loosen the scales. Don't scratch.
- Loosening the scales with a small, soft-bristled brush or fine-toothed comb before rinsing off the shampoo.
If the cradle cap persists or worsens, consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for advice.
