Can alcohol be used to wipe the scalp instead of washing hair during the postpartum period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

First, warm the medicinal alcohol with warm water, then dip the cotton swabs in it. Part your hair and wipe your scalp front, 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 refreshed. You can use this method daily before meals to wipe your head or comb your hair gently to promote blood circulation in the head and keep your mind clear.
