What is this on my sons head???

Bit of a back story a few weeks ago my son got really dry skin on his eyebrows he seems to rub it a lot he’s only 3 months old so I wouldn’t say he’s itching it as such cause I would imagine he wouldn’t know how to itch just yet! But the he got these circle patches on his forehead the biggest one appeared first and then the other 2 days later, after googling to my horror ring worm came up and I panicked and got him a doctors appointment went in there saying I thought he had either ringworm or eczema the doctor disagreed on both and said it was basically baby acne he did use a medical name for this Erythema toxicum neonatorum
so as I’ve got home I’ve googled it and I’ll be honest I really don’t think that’s what my DS has. So while I’m waiting for him yet another appointment I thought I’d come in here for some other opinions! I’ll attach some pictures below!
May I add I have 2 other children in the house and none of them are presenting any symptoms, neither are me or my partner.

It looks like eczema to me. Ask your HV.

your poor baby 😢 I’m no expert but it looks very much like Dds eczema flare ups (although that son her legs/arms). Is there a pharmacy you could take her to to have a look? That’s what we ended up having to do and they recommended stuff that’s really helped keep it away.

If it's any help Sudocrem is brilliant for eczema and I think it's possible the anti fungal is irritating it
Personally I would experiment just once using Sudocrem again
If he's not visibly distressed by the daktarin it won't be stinging
My second had eczema like this as a baby so that's my guess
