Hi there.
A more detailed in-depth evaluation of your daughter's problem will be needed for a clear management and treatment pathway including a detailed medical, personal and family history plus some good quality digital pics unless you are happy to come across to the clinic in person if hailing from Bangalore.
It can be handled and there is nothing to stress or worry about.
An Online Consultation is your best possible recourse for a clear and precise prescription given the traffic 🚦 in namma Bengaluru nowadays.
Good luck and Godspeed 🙏

Do NOT use OTC products or home remedies.
Shampoo of hair is best done only twice weekly and till you consult with one of us, 🕊️ Dove is a good mild shampoo to use.
Avoid handling the hoar too much and using tight plaits etc to reduce damage to the child's hair
