This presentation could be due to a localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria but fungal infections can be considered as a differential diagnosis). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem.
