She's got it around her hairline. Itchy and have been treating it with tgel and it's not improving

Impetigo?

Eczema or sebbhoreic dermatitis.
My bet's on the second.
She needs to see a gp if it doesn't settle down.

She definitely doesn’t have headlice?

This is how my DDs hairline looked when she did - she was allergic to the bites

No defo no headlice. Looks like the dermatitis mentioned above. Thanks all

Looks like dermatitis or foliculitis
I would see gp. She might need an antibiotic cream

Nizoral shampoo may help, but she might also need a betnovate scalp lotion.

Thanks for all the advice. Someone recommended body shops ginger shampoo and it cleared up within a few days!
