Circle mark on scalp - fungal?

Hi, I've notice this mark on my daughter's scalp and wondered if anyone could suggest what it is.

It's been there a week at least and I don't think there has been any change.

I'll take her to the pharmacist in the morning anyway for their opinion.

Thanks

Yes, fungal.
You will need a prescription for it.

Following for replies - I just spotted this on my daughter yesterday. I thought it ma be some cradle cap but looks more like a scab than dry skin

Looks like ringworm. You'll need a cream

I had this it's faded now. Was like a bruise but circular. I wondered if I'd been bitten by some critter in bed.

Will get it sorted tomorrow
