I recently noticed brown crusts on my 3 year olds scalp...but it worried me greatly. I ve examined his scalp for lice but didn t really see any and he goes to daycare which is why I m nervous about lice. (Though I ve never seen an actual lice infestation in my life so I don t really know what to look for) I did gave him a bath and rubbed his scalp and brushed it...and all seemed to came off.. anything I should do at this point? what could be the cause of those brown crusts?
Brown crusts of scalp can be due to seborrhea with fungal infection ketoconazole shampoo along with antihistamines could help.
