A Parent’s Immediate Concern

A chronic skin condition affecting the scalp and other areas.

  • Dry, itchy patches
  • Red or inflamed skin
  • May flare with allergies

6. Scalp Ringworm

Despite the name, it’s a fungal infection called Tinea Capitis.

  • Round patches of hair loss
  • Scaling and redness
  • Contagious and requires treatment

How to Tell the Difference

Each condition has its own signs, but here are simple clues:

  • Flakes + no redness → likely dandruff
  • Yellow greasy scales (babies) → cradle cap
  • Intense itching + visible eggs → lice
  • Hair loss patches → possible fungal infection
  • Red bumps → folliculitis

If you’re unsure, don’t guess—get it checked.


When It Might Be Serious

Most scalp issues are harmless and treatable.

But watch for warning signs:

  • Rapid spreading
  • Pain or swelling
  • Pus or discharge
  • Persistent hair loss
  • Fever or general illness

These may require medical attention.
