My son turned 3 in December and since the end of October he has had a terrible rash on his face, on both cheeks, sometimes going up to around his eyes.
It started around the time he had a bad cold, so we assumed it was that. Tried various creams recommended at the pharmacy, then went to the doctor and was given a steroid/fungal cream.
We've been using it twice a day as recommended, and sometimes it really works and seems to fully clear up. Then other days, it's back with a vengeance.
I know he can't be on steroid cream for too long, so I'm really trying to understand what is causing this. Could it be a food allergy? (I have a long list of those myself). A vitamin deficiency? Another skin condition?
We are going back to the doctor next week but I just wondered if anyone else had had a toddler with the same sort of thing!
Thanks so much.
