Is it okay to use alcohol to wipe the scalp while postpartum?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. May I ask if it is okay to use alcohol to wipe the scalp during the postpartum period?

Doctor's answer:

First, warm the medicinal alcohol with warm water, then soak the cotton gauze with it. Part your hair and wipe your scalp front and back, left and right. Gently massage your head with your hands, then use a comb to brush off the dirt. This will make you feel fresher. This method can be used daily before meals to wipe your hair or comb it gently to ensure smooth blood flow to the head and keep the brain refreshed. Combined with your symptoms, it is likely caused by incomplete lochia, so it is important to take oral antibiotics and blood-activating and blood-stasis-reducing medications promptly. Take Amoxicillin and Motherwort for treatment.
