Hi
Your child might have developed head lice along with do eczematous patch over the neck.
The lesions over the hair that you have noticed might be due to nits in the hair strands. It surely requires treatment with agents like permethrin.
Advice the concerned child's parent to see a nearby dermatologist soon for confirmation of diagnosis and further treatment.
