It may look like ringworm. But dont experiment on the kid with steroid creams and antifungals either. Take her to a good dermatologist instead of trying steroid cream suggestions. Paediatric doses are different and the cause needs an evaluation. Not my area of expertise.
Next Steps
Get a dermatologist consult.
Health Tips
Dont allow the baby to lie on her back. Check if anyone else at home has the same problem.
