Patient's question:
The child is two and a half years old, and itchy spots have reappeared around the buttocks and inner thighs. Again, red bumps have appeared, and the child has scratched the skin during naps. Just taken, previously used Cantharidin and Mometasone, which improved after a few days, but the condition flared up again after more than ten days. Why is this happening, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the description and photos, this condition is likely eczema, which is a skin disease caused by a weakened immune system. It is recommended to use a baby-specific eczema cream called Furel for the child, followed by oral antihistamine medication, such as Loratadine oral liquid. Alternatively, topical treatments like a dehumidifying, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving ointment or Mometasone cream can be used. It is important to avoid fish, shrimp, spicy foods, and other irritating foods. Additionally, the child should not sit on the ground to play to prevent contact with dirty things.
