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

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

First, warm the medicinal alcohol with water, then soak the cotton gauze with it. Part your hair and wipe the scalp front and back, left and right. Gently massage the head with your hands, then use a comb to brush off the dirt. This will make you feel refreshed. You can use this method every day before meals to wipe your head or comb your hair gently to ensure smooth blood flow to the head and keep your mind clear.
