It started out with a little flaking.
Then it got worse and worse. His whole head became a crust of yellow and he progressively lost his hair. He wasn't too happy either. He had to be held and rocked 24/7 because he was so irritable. Poor little guy.
More hair came out. Look how unhappy he was.
It got so bad that his entire face and body were affected too.
Yikes! This looks horrible and painful! He looks like Sandman! I never got it this bad.
Auntie Cathy took one look at him at his doctor's appointment and promptly sent him to the pediatric dermatologist. He diagnosed atopic dermatitis and prescribed "magic oil" slathered all over. Mommy has to cut back on eating egg, dairy and shellfish to see if he's allergic.
Amazingly, within 12 hours of being covered in magic oil, DiDi looked like this!
He smiled! He was alright with being put in the crib for the first time in 5 weeks! He didn't cry to be held. He stopped swiping his hands at his scalp. He smiled and slept for 3 hours straight for the first time ever. Mommy felt so bad that it took her so long to get treatment. It must have been really itchy. My cradle cap went away by itself.
No hair on DiDi, but all smiles and giggles after "magic oil".
