What Causes Bald Patch In 7-year-old With Rash On Neck?
Hi doctor, my 7 year old daughter suddenly developed a very tiny less than a 5p bald patch on her head right on the top centre parting, she has a very long black hair to her hip and there s a slight dry rash at the back of her neck toward the head. That had been there for about a month, I am really worried.

Hi...this could be tinea capitis, a fungal infection ofthe scalp. It needs treatment. I suggest you consult a dermatologist immediately as this condition has propensity to spread and she might lose more hair.
