Skin allergy on head

2025-06-30 11:49:05
My son is having an allergy on the head, forming rashes and causing dandruff around the area. Attached photos for reference. Already using keto shampoo for the dandruff issue. He is suffering this from 4 months. He is going to school and there is chalk powder that is falling on his head may be that is the reason for having this issue.

Likely seborrheic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition caused by Malassezia yeast commonly on the scalp, face, and folds. It’s non-contagious and tends to recur. Use mild antifungal shampoo (like ketoconazole 2% twice a week).
Next Steps
If persistent, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
Health Tips
Avoid oiling and harsh soaps. Keep scalp clean and dry.
