Please go and do allergy test. My daughter, at that age, was also having issues until we do allergy test and found out she was allergic to peanut and eggs. If you cannot do allergy test, try and eliminate these food allergies
Big-8 (e.g. eggs, milk, wheat, and soybean) Fish, Crustacean, Treenut, Peanut
https://farrp.unl.edu/informallbig8

Thanks man for these wonderful piece of information. I have been allergic to four of the big 8. Although the severity has reduced with 8 and some people are discouraging others from posting health issues here.

Just once in a while she use attachments.
During last xmas,yes


that is likely the source. The skin is not ripe for that. simple. Better to take her to hospital before it turn out to be bigger infection. I alwys say under aged girls are not for all these modern day slaying. Parents should know better. They re in developing state. You dont even know the state of the attachment used. You should learn from this now and alwys.

Please help diagnose this thing on my daughter's head. That thing looks like small small boils all over her head. It pains her alot and she doesnt want anyone to touch her head especially when bathing. She 3yrs old, eats well and very active.

It started 4 days ago and progressed to this stage.

Other Sypmtoms include:

She doesnt sleep well at night becauese of pains on her head.

High temp especially around 1am-5am ( we have been using paracetamol to calm bown the temp)

Little rashes on her neck and lower back.

Her hair doesnt grow evenly (though we have noticed this for a while)

Not a big deal, give her Lycomycin for boils will dry up. It comes in light blue and dark blue capsules very bitter but works. Dissolve capsule in water n administer 2 ur child 2ice daily.

What's the name of the drug you used?
fastseo:


Let me tell you, there was a time I had boil, I had gone to hospital, taken drugs... Spent over 30,000 naira but this small boil was still shiny and refuse to go. Bought various drugs some where 2500 to 3000. Taken antibiotics.

I had to go to two medical labs still saying same thing and the drugs and injection they prescribed could not do anything.


I had to search online, search for similar images online and I landed here on nairaland. And I saw where one girl like that suffered from same issue and called the drugs she used.... I went to the store to get it for just 350 naira and 3 days that boil dried up... Its over 3 years now.


So don't ask people not to discuss their problems here, it will help thousands if not million of people some day.

Even most doctors do prescribe drugs based on similar cases they have handled before

This is a small issue, please use ENDIX G. It happened to my daughter, I think it's the heat.
Re: Please Help Diagnose This Scalp Disease (Disturbing Photos) by SURElee(f): 9:34pm On Jan 13, 2020
Is this baby under any medication she might be reacting to that you don't know? Maybe she is reacting to a drug. I remember reacting to tetracycline years ago.

Then again, if you have a personal clipper, use it to barb her hair and take her to the hospital, she needs an appointment with the doctor.

My little cousin had this a while ago. We used An antibiotic called SPORIDEX for him. The baby eating eggs will quicken the healing process and greatly reduce the chances of re-occurence too.
Re: Please Help Diagnose This Scalp Disease (Disturbing Photos) by realtalk19: 9:42pm On Jan 13, 2020
Buy her own clipper and barb of the hairs then see a doctor for prescription of a good antibiotic cream.am sure with time it will dry off.

So sorry for the condition of your daughter. If you don't mind, I have one cream that handles things like this.
If you are interested, then in-box me.

LadySarah:
It will not pass very tight hairstyles.
I might be wrong though. Just comb her hair and pack in buns with fancy bands.

Boil the red acalypha flower and bath her with it for one week, mion and night

after bathing rub black crude palm karnel oil (adi dudu/adi eyan) in abundant.

Yes, well water, and it properly treated. I don't think this issue is water related.

What kind of water does she bathe with? Is it well water? You may want to check the water she baths with

The last part is just a mess. You actually started well and I was hoping you would proffer solution after you nice talks, but no; you fall my hand I swear.

Noted sir
Bolubaba:
It's a fungal infection and using antibiotics does not treat fungal infections.

1. Cut your childs hair
2. Get the RED ACALYPHA. Boil & bath her with it
3. Get an antifungal cream TYDINIL works fine mix with Shea butter and use it as hair cream.
You see the results within few days.

Do ppl sell it in the market?


Yes but you can buy the fresh and live one in any garden or nursery so that you can plant in your compound..

Within 30 to 60 days max, it will grow into a big shrub and you can use it as much and long as you want ..
Re: Please Help Diagnose This Scalp Disease (Disturbing Photos) by xavuv: 10:50pm On Jan 13, 2020
Thanks bfor your time sir.
We have noted your advise.


Amopeekun:
In my place, it is called gbindin gbindin. It is a Yoruba name.
I don't know how serious this is but importantly, STOP MAKING/PLAITING/BRAIDING/ MANIPULATING HER SCALP HENCEFORTH!! Pls stop. Her scalp is very tender and too soft. Cut her hair low until she is old enough to sit down by herself to make her hair. Occasionally, washing her hair with a very mild shampoo will do, otherwise, the regular bathing is enough.. Separate her combs and hair brushes from yours and disinfect them regularly with dettol.
As it is, you either use amplicox Beecham for her or take her to the hospital. All the best.

Thank you sir
Adalasy:


I am an alternative medicine practitioner from Ghana and you can treat this easily from the comfort of your home. Go and get some Neem leaves. Carefully pluck the leaves from the stalk because it is only the leaves you need. Mash the leaves into a paste and apply the paste on each boil on her head. Make sure you cover all of them. this application is to be done once a day only.

Her condition is caused by bacteria which has formed in her hair follicle. I would have recommended neem oil for her but since she is just 3 and may touch the hair and oil and lick with her tongue i would rather you use the leaves.

Apply the neem leaves as long as needed and she will be fine plus the leaves would ensure there is no scar left from the boils

This is what neem leaves look like attached.

I would also recommend that for her rashes which you say are on her lower back and neck, you take the same neem leaves, boil it for about 10mins (once it begins to boil leave it boiling for 10 mins) Mix about 100ml of the resultant liquid with her bathing water and bath her with it. She will get her baby skin back in no time.

Try not to get Chemical drugs or creams for her at her age. Follow the instructions i have given
