My 7 month old has had this rash for the past 5/6 weeks now and nothing seems to help. She was born with clear skin and has had no issues until around age 6 months. The rash is only round her mouth, under the chin, torso, upper arms and back. Her legs are completely clear.
She’s been to the doctor 5 times about the rash. Initially they thought it was fungal but now they say it’s eczema and have prescribed different creams but none seem to be working.
She’s had canesten, timodine, qv, aveeno, hydrocortisone but if anything I feel they make her skin worse.
She is only bathed 1/2 times per week using a prescribed emollient or Aveeno. No changes in laundry detergent and we don’t use any other creams or lotions on her. She has started weaning but she mostly has vegetables, not allergens.
Her skin doesn’t feel that dry and it isn’t flaky? It didn’t seem to bother her until a few days ago and she keeps scratching and picking at it.
I have no idea if this is eczema, an allergy or something else or what can be done to help as it looks so sore on her skin and she screams so bad when applying cream. Thanks!
