A member asked:

In the past few days my 19 months old child has shown some unusual behaviour. she is irritable and would randomly ask to be scratched at the back of her neck (head base). at first we thought it was some skin irritation but there is nothing visible.

Anything in scalp?: Be sure to look all over her scalp and also check for nits from lice. You can see photos of various scalp conditions, including lice, if you search on Google.
