 [ Symptoms ] i have a bad burn on my hand i am using antibiotic cream and keeping it clean do i keep it covered or uncovered [ Disease ] sorry you are experiencing this unfortunately it is impossible to diagnose your condition without a physical exam i suggest you consult a dermatologist it is true this could be something simple along the lines of cradle cap which is a buildup of skin oils and cells it also could be dandruff or scalp psoriasis neither of those is life threatening but it would be useful to get a true diagnosis because these conditions require different treatment skin cancers are uncommon in your age group but it still would not hurt to have a dermatologist take a look at your scalp just to be safe hope this helps
