What Causes Black Spots On The Crown And Top Of Head?
Hi My 23 month old baby has a lot of black spots on the crown and top of his head, they are not itchy but will not rub off and look like blackheads. My 3 month old baby also had the same on his head but they are not there anymore. Any ideas. Thanks

Hi...this is a fungal infection of the scalp and sometimes cradle cap can occur like this. I suggest you use, a mild anti-fungal shampoo after consulting a dermatologist or a pediatrician. This will definitely get better as the age progresses.
