2yo DD has developed red patches on the backs of her legs and sometimes insides of her arms. At first we put it down to the heat because it started during the hot spell. However it has not cleared up. I have tried various creams on it to no effect.
I am now thinking it is excema. I have used some hydrocortisone on it that was prescribed for DS when he had secondary excema from scratching his molluscum and it works really well if used regularly but is running out. I just wondered why people try to avoid steroid creams and what alternatives there might be. I think I will have to take her to the doctor but we are going to France on Saturday.
