Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as being related to the baby's physical discomfort. When the baby suffers from eczema, especially on the face, they feel itchy but will never scratch it, resorting to shaking their head instead. Seborrheic dermatitis can also cause the baby to shake their head. The inflammation often occurs behind the earlobe. When gently touched with the hand, it feels rough, and upon closer observation, yellow crusts can be seen. Due to the intense itching, the baby will shake their head constantly.
