Itchy rash on the back of the head

So, after complaining about DD's tantrums yesterday, this morning I noticed she was itching her head.  After digging under all her hair I found a rash.  From an online search it could be anything from eczema to ringworm (although I really don't think it's that shape).  I am going to take her to the Dr on Monday but was wondering if anyone else has experience with this or suggestions how to ease the itchiness.  Thank you!

Re: Itchy rash on the back of the head

  • C's head used to get BAD scaly patches.  I switched to Aveeno body wash and lotion and use hydrocortisone  cream on the patches (per pedi's suggestion).  It worked great and he hasn't had a flare up in awhile.

    Thank you for the tips.  It's so hard to see under her hair- looks like I am going to have to be a lot more attentive.
