Hi,
Most probably it could be due to seborrhic dermatitis. It’s a kind of fungal infection and nothing much to worry as it can be cured with timely treatment.
We have to rule out other conditions before making a diagnosis. You can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. As of now you can apply topical anti-fungal ointment like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
