My 2 year old daughter has thick yellow scales on her scalp. they do not see to itch her and they do not flake either. I have tried to use my nail to scrape them off but does not work well they attach to the hair then. What could this be she has eczema and soriasis also on her torso and extremities
Hi, Thick yellowish scales on scalp in child Chat Doctor.  For such cases, I used to give antifungal shampoos like ketoconazole for few weeks. If no response, adding mild steroid lotion often helps. But, since she has psoriasis also, kindly see your dermatologist, as psoriasis on scalp often resembles seborrhea dermatitis, and treatment is different. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
