Saw this skin condition today — raised, scaly grayish patches on the face and scalp.
It’s most likely tinea (ringworm), a common fungal infection. On darker skin it often looks gray or ashy instead of the classic red rings.
If you or your child has something similar, please see a doctor or dermatologist. Scalp involvement usually needs oral medicine, not just cream. It’s contagious, so avoid sharing combs, hats or towels until it’s treated.
Early treatment clears it up and prevents hair loss. Don’t ignore it 🙏
