Booty Break out

by rachel81805, Apr 01, 2009 11:47PM
Recently my daughter's booty has broken out with a rash of some sort on both cheeks, no where else. She does have eczema, but this doesn't look the same. Just her cheeks are red and blotchy. Anyone else have this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Hello,

I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like irritant contact dermatitis.
Avoid using any lotions and creams over the face for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.

If the irritation persists then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.Rosacea and eczema have to be ruled out.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards
