Hello,
The picture is not very clear, but the reassuring part is that there appears to be hair growing through the lighter patch. If this were a fungal infection, it is usually associated with broken hairs, scaling, or hair loss, which are not evident in the image.
This could be hypopigmentation following a previous rash or a congenital birthmark that has become more noticeable after the tonsure.
For now, continue using the same shampoo or scalp wash that you have been using. Observe the patch over the next few weeks. If you notice hair loss, broken hair strands, scaling, redness, or an increase in the size of the patch, consult your paediatrician for a direct examination.

Photo is not clearly showing any patch.
Can do oiling with coconut water and use any baby friendly shampoo to wash head twice or thrice weekly. In case of redness, itching, white flakes falling from patch take consultation sos
