How can someone overcome the skin problem that spreads from the torso to other body parts?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I reviewed the attached images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), and I need to ask you a few questions.

1) What is the age of the child?

2) Is there any history of dandruff, dry skin, allergic rhinitis, or asthma in the child or family members?

3) Which steroid cream have you used in the past?

4) Is there any history of eczema in the family?

Kindly revert with the answers.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

According to your complaints and uploaded pictures (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), it seems to be an eczematous rash. Itching is a subjective symptom and can vary between individuals. I suggest you apply a topical steroid like Cortisone cream twice daily along with the frequent and liberal application of a moisturizing lotion that contains white soft paraffin 3 to 4 times daily. Also instead of soap, opt for soap-free cleanser and use lukewarm water for bathing instead of hot water. Make her stay away from dust and pets, and do not make her wear woolen and synthetic clothes that might come in direct contact with her skin's surface. Once her condition improves taper down the steroids. Do not stop them immediately, otherwise, eczema will recur.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and take care.
