Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My baby boy is 4 months old. He is suffering from neck infection.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your child is having intertrigo which is inflammation of the body fold. I would recommend you to apply Clobetasone and Miconazole cream (Eumosone M cream) on the affected area twice daily for seven days. Also, keep the area dry and clean.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
