When ethan had it, I used the hairbrush method. The doctor told me to use lots of soap when I shampooed his hair. It went away in about 2 weeks.

My son had it terrible! When you give him a bath put some baby oil on the patches and rub it off with a soft toothbrush! That works really good!

Rub baby oil into his hair and use a soft brush to brush em out and rinse really good and brush the remainder out.

My mom found baby oil worked well on my little brother. The area it usually forms on (front of head) is over the soft spot where the babies skull hasn't fully joined together so the areas very delicate so just be gentle
