Hi Sandy. From the very limited information that you have provided, you may want to look at psoriasis or tinea capitis. Psoriasis is a skin disease that often presents with shiny white thickened skin. Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp, also referred to as scalp ringworm (not due to an actual worm). It is always advisable that you seek professional medical attention where the head can be examined.
