My 3 year old has scabs on his scalp and has been itching his head. My 1 year old has now started to itch her head. There is no lice and they both have a cough cold along with what looks like several bug bites across their bodies. I though maybe chicken pox??
IIN the absence of fever or any other rash over the other part of body, It's unlikely to be Chicken pox. It is likely to be Impetigo which is bacterial infection of hair follicles. Local application of antibiotic like Mupirocin will be helpful. Take Care Best Regards Chat Doctor.
