[candyfluff]

it started when he had a cold on one cheek its bright red and hot to the touch have tried savlon and vasaline but its not going
any idea's
is it worth a trip to gp ?

sudocream?
i would try the sudocream for a week and then go to the GP

think im gonna go to the pharmacy and ask
havent got any sudocream
would you still send him to playschool
it does look horible

I'd use E-45. In fact, I am using E-45 on both my ds's.

Sudocream, as it is also antiseptic. It's the only thing (incl a prescription cream) that worked to clear it up.

Worth a trip to GP.

Happened to ds about a month ago - I tried over the counter creams E45 etc) and nothing shifted it. I tried those creams over a period of about a month, and it then ended up getting much worse as it wasn't being treated properly.

One quick trip to GP, he prescribed anti-biotic cream, and it was cleared within a week.

I was also advised to keep him off school until it cleared. So definitely worth getting the GP to check it out just in case it is contageous or needs something a bit stronger.

thanks baffy
went to see the pharmacist who told me to take him to gp so have got an appointment at 3pm today
will let you know we get on
