My ds (4) has always had very mild eczema but about 5 weeks ago developed massive scabs on the back of one leg. Took him to docs who prescribed 1 wk antibiotics for impetigo, had to take him back as not really better, then had another 2 weeks antibiotics and cream which seemed to clear it up. Then last week he developed more scabs under his arm so he's now on ANOTHER week of antibiotics.
I'm worried that 4 weeks antibiotics don't seem to have cleared it up. Does anyone else have any exp of this please? Any other remedies I can try as not keen for MORE a/b's. Could it be something else?
Also he now has scars on his leg where the first lot was, will they go?
Thanks xx
