A few weeks ago my toddler came up with a small red patch near the tip of his nose. It stayed for about a week, came to a red pimple without a head and then slowly disappeared, so lasting about 1.5 weeks in total.
The next week the same thing happened on the other side.
Now my 9 month old has just woken up with the same.
I have constantly washed toddler hands, tried fucidin once or twice a day on his nose, used separate flannels which I change daily, constantly tell him not to touch his nose, and kept his face away from the baby. I went and asked the pharmacist and he said I just needed to put sudocrem on (hasn't done much).
What could this be? I'm thinking staph infection? I have been watching and waiting on toddlers nose as it has been a small area both times, and it seemed too trivial for the doctors, but I am thinking of going now, would they think I was wasting their time?
