awful sore yucky patch behind DS's ear, he is 18 months old. thrush?

[Woollymummy]

i only have athlete's foot cream type treatment, no thrush cream in the house for a change, and cannot get to pharmacy until tomorrow, but want to treat it today, what do you think?

[alypaly]

what do you mean by yucky?

[FaintlyMacabre]

Thrush prefers warm moist places so sounds a bit unlikely to me. It could be something like eczema or impetigo. I would hold off treating it until you've got someone to look at it and give a definitive diagnosis.

Mine used to get that from dribbling. Especially during sleep. Could put sudocrem on for now if you think it is thrush.
