Dear Patient,

These lesions seem like a combination of dry patches of dandruff that are flaking off and scabs due to lice. The itching also is the cause of lice. Apply neem oil/lavender oil/tea tree oils lotions in your daughter's hair. Many products are available at good pharmacies and you can safely use them. The only way this will
Improve is when all lice and nits are gone.
