Hi,
From history it seems that along with fungal infection on scalp is now developed super added with bacterial infection.
She might require one course of antibiotic like Amoxicilin for 5-7 days.
Meanwhile clean scalp with antibiotic lotion and keep scalp clean and dry.
consult doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
