Brief Answer:
bacterial or viral infection involving scalp.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have evaluated query for your daughter with all attached images here.

* As per the picture, it is a sequel of bacterial or viral infection involving the
scalp skin.

My recommendations at present

- Keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid and dry.
- Clotrimazole ( 1 % ) dusting powder to be applied 3 times a day.
( As Neosporin will make the area sticky with perspiration in this humid
environment ).
- In our clinic, we recommend an antibiotic of macrolide group as
azithromycin or else, which requires prescription of your pediatrician.
- Anti inflammatory action of syrup ibuprofen will take care of underlying
pain, burning or low grade fever.

- Keep regular check over the size of the lesions, fever if any by
thermometer.
- Check that she does not itch the area, which can make it spread to
surrounding areas.
- Maintain hydration with plenty of liquids.
- Avoid exposure to excess heat.

Follow up recommended after 3 days or early as per the requirement.

Wish her fine recovery.
Take care.
