Silver/white sacs attached to the hair shafts in the occipital area are nits (lice eggs) and are indicative of a positive head check for pediculosis capitis (head lice). White, flaky particles could indicate dandruff or dry scalp, lesions on the scalp could indicate a variety of skin conditions, and maculopapular lesions behind the ears could indicate a different type of infection, such as impetigo.
