What Does A White Spot On Scalp Indicate?

Hello ,
My baby got a white spot on scalp when she was 2 months old now she is 4 months old. Doctor prescribed nizoral ointment for 10 days but it didn't help. The spot is still there on scalp. May I know the reason for that so that I will be able to take better care for her..
Regards,
Mum.

Hi...it could be a seborrhea of scalp or any other fungal infection.

But, Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
