Sebum on Head

Asked for Male, 5 years

My nephew has this yellowish sebum thing in his head (reference picture below) on and off. Sometimes it is in red color. What should we do? My sister is worried we consulted a pediatrician and he said to consult a dermatologist.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes it would be best to consult a dermatologist. It's actually due to excess production of oily secretions. There are many products to treat this condition and it's curable. A dermatologist can guide you in detail about this.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
