Eczema spots on baby’s feet?

28 replies

My 10 month old has strange little spots on his feet and I’m looking for advise. They come and go and at the moment they are particularly bad. They are sometimes fluid filled and red and bumpy. I’ll attach a pic but the pic doesn’t do them justice as it’s hard to capture them on camera.

At first I thought they might be hand foot and mouth, but they’ve been there for months, off and on, and occasionally appear on his thumbs too. He doesn’t seem bothered by them but I would like to get to the bottom of what they are.
I sent pics to the GP who wasn’t sure, and when I googled, I came across a certain type of Eczema that looked similar?
She prescribed a steroid cream but I struggle with this as he is always eating his feet and his socks so I’m wary to apply it.

He is dairy free and does have dry skin and spotty skin at times, it seems he has sensitive skin but these spots are baffling me.

Does anyone have any experience of this at all? Would like to know. Thanks in advance.

@Scifijulai also such a relief to hear that they weren’t itchy or painful for you as that’s what I’m worried about!

Did you find out what this was or find something to help? My 6 MO has the same thing.

@Ferg1995 hello!

I never really got to the bottom of it, he has had it on his feet a handful of times over the last couple of years. It has usually been in the summer, where I assumed it was maybe down to the heat/walking and crawling on grass? It was itchy for him and he would rub his feet together but we just tried to ride it out and would go away again after a day or two. Very strange?! I think it may be pompholyx eczema but did not find a solution! I did try the cream but it didn’t help much.
I hope your little one isn’t bothered by it and sorry I can’t be more help x
