Abstract: A mitten for therapeutically cleansing the scalp of an infant, particularly one disposed to a dermatological scalp condition, includes a plurality of soft bristles in a finger portion thereof for briskly but gently massaging the affected area. The mitten also includes a reservoir having an opening in a palmar portion thereof for collecting, holding and releasing water whereby the massaged area may be rinsed. The mitten is thus adapted for cleansing and rinsing with only one hand, the wearer's other hand being free to hold the infant.
