Regarding teeth - You can wait up to 15-18 months for teeth to erupt in a child. If after 18 months, no teeth, then visit a dentist to evaluate further. Regarding the spots on the head, it may be due to tonsuring procedure itself. If it doesn’t subside in a few days, consult a Dermatologist for the same. Please book an appointment to discuss further.
