I was considering going to the Dr about this...but before I do, I figured I'd ask on here first...
My DD is 8 months and I've recently noticed (well, for a few weeks anyway... though it may have been there longer...) a dry patch on her forehead. It's off the side, and high up on her forehead...it's kind of bumpy and only slightly drier and rougher than the rest of her skin. It changes colour too...from skin-colour, to a brown-ish colour to a pinky-red. It's probably between the size of a 10c-20c piece. The bumps are kind of pimple-ish, but they're not pimples.
I'm wondering what it may be. It hasn't weeped or cracked and isn't itchy. I thought it may be eczema, but I don't think it is after researching on that.
It's not like a mole or anything...it's just this weird patch. It doesn't seem to bother her...it just looks strange and I'm wondering what it is...or rather, what it MIGHT be. I might take a photo and post it later on...
Any ideas?
