Marks on scalp

4 replies

Hi,

My daughter is 14 & on Friday I noticed this on her scalp, she now has 5 of them. The pharmacist said she didn’t know what it was and gave her an anti fungal cream. My daughter has a Doctors appointment on Tuesday, she is very distressed about these marks as they can clearly be seen as she is blonde.

Researching it looks like it could be ringworm, dermatitis, eczema.

Does any one know what they can be?

Thanks

You can get Nizoral Shampoo at the pharmacy. That should clear it up in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve looked into ringworm fingers crossed it will be treated quickly as she is back to school in a fortnight.
