How to manage the spreading skin rash in a 9-month-old baby?

Question

Hi doctor,

My daughter (nine months) has been suffering from irritated skin for the past three to four weeks. It is spreading to different areas of the body. It is on the cheeks, near the elbow, the back of the knee, etc. We have consulted a couple of dermatologists, but it is not helping.

Could you please help with suggestions?

Currently, she is under T-Bact twice a day on the affected areas, and Physiogel hypoallergenic AI cream twice daily after bath.

Please help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I went through your query and all the pictures and prescriptions (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your son has atopic dermatitis. It is very common in allergic children or children of allergic parents. The probable causes are dust, allergy, and pets.

Medicines prescribed to your child are almost correct. I am making some changes for faster relief. Continue Physiogel hypoallergenic AI lotion. Instead of T-Bact cream, use Cutisoft cream (Hydrocortisone Acetate) and use it twice a day. Avoid contact with pets or dust.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

If Cutisoft cream is not helping, then start using Flutivate (Fluticasone) cream at night daily and Atogla lotion three times a day.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
