Scapy patch on 5 months baby scalp
Hello Doctor,
My baby is 5 months old. She got scaly patch on her scalp. As per pediatrician suggestion using ketostar shampoo -weekly twice and candid B lotion- twice every day. Using from 5 days.
But today dermatologist suggested to use Desosoft cream. And dermatologist told that ketostar shampoo and candid B lotion are waste to use.
Now my question please check the pics and tell me what is it and what to use.
Thank you.
