Question

his skin, especiall his face, neck, ears and inner side of elbows and knees will have redness. wat should i do? doc's cream doesn't seems to work.

Answer 1

Well, your best bet would be to:

- Take him to a doctor

- Check out when the rashes come out.. is it when he eats something or when he goes near something? He could be allergic

- You may also want to change your showerhead to filter away chlorine cos that is proven to give some pple with sensitive skin rashes.. if you are interested to find out more about this, pls email me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

I'd see a dermatologist, or at least a pediatrician/general doc that will get a punch biopsy of these patches and send it to a dermatopathologists (someone who specializes in skin diagnoses from biopsies).

You want to make sure this is not a malignant process if the steroid creams are not touching it.

Answer 3

my daughter also like that. have you tried to change his body soap? i'm using isoberm now and it showing improvment. not so red already. go back to the doc and see whether can do any test on him to find out the cause of it.

Answer 4

You can try to use some lotion. I have lotion that may help you. It's made by pearl. It 's good for skin problem and no side effect. I can help you to get one for your son. Do email me if you want to try.
