Hair in infancy and childhood.

Of concern to new mothers is often the question, "Does my baby look normal?" In regard to the scalp and hair patterns of the infant, we have provided at least a basic guideline of what is generally considered the norm or variants of normal. Our goal was to outline accepted methods to care for an infant's hair and present certain problems a mother could encounter concerning the hair and scalp of her child or adolescent. We wish for this to serve as a practical guide to physicians in preparing mothers to care for their child's hair needs.

Scabies.

Scabies is highly contagious and is usually transmitted by direct personal contact. It typically presents as an intensely pruritic eruption. Atypical presentations are common in Norwegian scabies and in childhood scabies. Infestation is documented by visualizing the mite, its eggs or scybala on low-power microscopy. The treatment of choice is 5 percent permethrin cream, used in a single application at bedtime and removed the next morning.
