A member asked:

My baby keeps scratching his head, sometimes he starches till he bleeds? should i go see a paediatrician or gp? he has cradle cap and/or rash

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: GP's may or may not see a large group of kids in their practice & be quite able to handle such issues. Some choose not to see kids before they are verbal, so a paed may be more in tune with your needs.
