Hi there young lady .. Understand your kid's issues. Thank you for a clear pic. However to help you further one will need much more detailed information and history of her problem including various factors that may be at play to make a good action plan to help you. If you are in Bangalore, I would always recommend an in-person consultation or if preferable a ONLINE CONSULTATION or INSTANT Consultation ONLINE 🙏
Health Tips
Avoid soap 🧼🫧 for now; use cleansers Consider deworming the child. Place a 🧢 on her head before venturing outdoors.
