I have to take my baby for an hospital appointment later this week on the above. Has anyone else had this problem?

Not sure if this is the same problem as mine were treated at the GPs and never got to the hospital stage but......my three sons have all suffered from excema in the creases behind the knee. Although we tried a number of things e.g. aqueous creams, E45, at the end of the day, mild steriod creams finally banished it. In all cases, we did not use very much,and never had to go back for more of the steriods. They do outgrow it eventually.

I had to take one of my newborn babes to an orthopaedic surgeon to be checked over because she had assymetrical creases at the tops of her legs. It can be an indication of a dislocated hip, I understand.

ive been told by my dds physio to look at the creases in her legs ,apparantly creases that dont match can also mean a leg length differance.my dd has left hemiplegia so its important to watch carefully for this.
