Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the itching burning spot on left side of the head indicates possible issue with underlying fungal, bacterial or viral infection most likely. My guidelines at present:
- Keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Local application of Betnovate N cream
- Prescription of antibiotic (as cephalexin), anti-fungal (as fluconazole), anti-histamine (as cetirizine)
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
