Skin rash

Hello,

I was wondering if I could have some advice please.

Since around June my daughter, 8yo, has had a skin rash and no doctor has been able to
confirm what it is or what is causing it. We have heard eczema, psoarisis, even scabies.. but the only thing we've been given so far are hydrocortisone creams.

It started on the neck and after few weeks it moved to other areas. It seems worse on the areas that clothes are rubbing, like in the waste area. It also moved to the legs, to the back and now its worse on the arms. Its redish, and it has tiny little bubbles.
When it seems to go away, it leaves some dark purple/brownish marks on the skin.
It's not itchy, most often it gets itchy when I am applying the crane, but that's it.

It doesn't seem uncomfortable but I'm so scared of this actually being caused by something major since is not clear what it actually is.

I guess i just would like to check if perhaps someone else has had it, or might have some advice about how best to treat it.

I'm adding some photos although they are a bit blurry as my camera is not great unfortunately.

I appreciate any info/insights.
Thank you very much!!

Have you tried swapping washing powder?

Hi SaagAloopa,
We did, we are using Surecare now, but haven't seen much difference so far unfortunately.
