A member asked:
My 2 months baby has a very dry scalp and also white flaky just around his eyebrows and forehead .. can i use vaseline on his forehead ?

Not recommended: Vaseline can be occlusive to rashes and often keep the inciting cause "under wraps" so to speak. Best to get the rash diagnosed and most often a simple prescribed corticosteroid cream may be needed or other agent depending on the official diagnosis. Best wishes.
