Babies who scratch their fontanels themselves can be sterilized with iodine povidone to prevent infection, and should be prevented from re-injury by clipping nails and wearing hats.
If a baby scratches the skin of the fontanel by himself, it is usually only a superficial trauma and can be sterilized with iodine povidone to avoid infection and keep the damaged area dry and clean, which usually does not affect the baby in any way.
Usually parents should pay attention to timely trimming the baby’s nails, wear a hat, do not let the baby scratch this place, so as to avoid reoccurrence of injury. The fontanel is the weaker part of the baby’s head. Do not press or hit the fontanel with force to avoid damage to the brain tissue.
If your baby’s fontanel is damaged, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out targeted treatment, do not take medication without authorization, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
