Unknown allergy marks on head
My son is just 6 months old and having some unknown allergy marks on his head right in the middle as shown in attached pic. This convert to red when oiling done however, we have stopped applying any oil on his head from last 2 weeks now but this is not getting faded.
It's on his head from last 1 month approx. and was seems like spreading in the early days when applied coconut oil but, isn't spreading now and just a kind of circle is there.
Not sure if I should be consulting with a pediatrician or dermatologist.
