Itchy ear

I have noticed that behind my babies left ear is very dry and seems to be itching her. I was wondering if it could be due to teething, has anyone else’s baby had this?

It’s probably cradle cap. If you put some oil on it (like coconut oil), let it sit for a bit then use a comb you can get it to flake off. Both my kids got this as babies But the pulling at the ears could be teething and totally unrelated. I don’t remember this causing my kids to itch but maybe it did

I found it was that milk sometimes dribbled back there. Or soap collected that wasn’t totally rinsed. Oil and or careful washing cleared it up.

@Jaimmie I thought it might be that but it looks bit red and sore too but I don’t know if that’s from her scratching it. I’m even cut where it attaches to her head a bit ☹️

it could be cradle cap, are you cleaning and moisturising behind her ears? after a bath, dry the area thoroughly and moisturise with coconut oil
