For the past few weeks Nathaniel's had cradle cap. It's pretty sick. He has giant flakes of skin peeling off all on his head. I hadn't done anything about it because I figured he'd just grow out of it.
It's worse than that.
I realized just lately that every time a flake of skin comes off, it takes off all the hair that grew through that flake of skin, too.
:^(
Yesterday he had a sad moment and frantically pulled out a whole fistful of his own hair. It's not hard to do, with all the flakes (and therefore hair) peeling off as they are. He has a baldish patch where the hairs were, now (I say baldish because he still has a bunch of hair to masquerade the area... however, all those hairs are cradle-capped as well).
I am worried that the cradle cap area of his head is going to make him bald there. And then we'll be left with a bizarro bald-head baby with a rattail and Gollum sideburns still. :^/
