When my daughter had it, I put shampoo in her hair (I used aveeno) and worked it through her hair with my nails and kindve massaged it in, then I took a comb and combed through her hair while the shampoo was still in it to remove any loose skin. Rinse, and repeat everyday until it's gone.. hers was gone in about 3-4 days but she did lose a lot of hair from it..
