Rash back of head

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help me, please see attached photos of baby's head. Hoping to get GP appointment tomorrow. Was very dry before bath and then after bath seemed like it was almost seeping. This has been coming on and off over a week but each time it comes back seems to be worse?

Haven't changed any washing powder, soap ect. This is all on the back of his head and no where else on his body. I believe he may have small patches of eczema on his back but not confirmed by GP yet. Just looking for some advice quite worried. Thank you

It looks like eczema to me

Does he sleep with the back if his head on the pillow/bed? Or is he a tummy/side sleeper?

Poor little guy it does look painful

I'd try to keep it as dry as possible and see what the doctor says

If he seems uncomfortable maybe some Calpol may relieve him

Has he got a new hat or anything? Anything new in contact with his head?

No nothing new bless him. He doesn't seem that bothered by it which is weird because it looks so sore. Worth mentioning that he was diagnosed with CMPA about a month ago and is now on hypoallergenic formula but thought if that was a reaction to it would have come out sooner? Hoping to get some more answers tomorrow. Thank you for your advice xx
