DS (5) has had a rash at the top of his legs/under his bum since May. Took him to the pharmacist, said fungal rash, gave Daktarin.
No improvement after a few weeks so saw GP, said fungal rash, prescribed Timodine.
No improvement after almost 2 months, saw pharmacists again, said fungal rashes are just very persistent, advised Canestan with hydrocortisone. Been using this for a couple of weeks and still no improvement, in fact we now have pustules as well as red, eczema-looking rash. I've made another GP appointment for this week.
I appreciate that 2 separate HCPs have said fungal rash, but is there a chance it was misdiagnosed? Or has it coincidentally morphed into something else? I've seen several posters mention molloscum and wondered if this was it. It's not hugely similar to the pics I can find on google but I guess not a million miles away either. I'm just so frustrated for poor DS, it's been uncomfortable and itchy for months now.
Any ideas wise mumsnetters?
