DD's Unidentified Rash - can you help?

Hi, my DD has had a rash for nearly a month now. She is not ill. She has had 2 different anti biotics and they haven't touched it. The GP thought it was impetigo but now she isn't so sure.

It started on the middle of her chest, raised bumps in a cluster about 3" across and down and was under one arm. It spread into her hair, the hair and arm pit has healed but there is a lot of it on her back at the top under her hair. There is also a lot behind her ears and a few on her face (not much).

When it was in her scalp it was itchy and bled but apart from that there are no obvious symptoms. The rash often has dry flaky skin on it like it is thinking about healing but doesn't.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

could be eczma, but then again your doctor would have picked that up if it was! when you bath her tho dont put any smellies in the bath like bubble bath may irritate! get a second opinion fron another doctor!

No it isn't, DD says her back is itchy tonight. I have been online and the nearest thing seems to be seborrhoeic dermatitis. I have covered her in canesten tonight as that is the nearest anti fungal cream I have to what they recommend.
