My child (3+) had an itchy rash behind her knee, which I think was due to food (oil) residue on her chair (childcare) - a common skin ailment especially around the mouth when kid's mouths are not wiped clean enough esp after oily meals.
But because of a series of cortizonal or steriodal creams to cure the rash, I think her skin has been 'damaged'. Now the rash is impossible to get rid of. And it is itching. At best, it is reddish, feels dry. At worst, it is red, puffy. The skin has also cracked (due to scratching).
1. What should I use to neutralise whatever creams had been used to prevent the rash from getting worst?
2. Help her skin to recover back to their natural state.
I have used yellow solution (acriflavine - common for skin abrasions) on skin breaks. It has helped, but the rash persists. Please help!
Btw, I have heard that copper peptide serums can help top-layer skin recover, but they are hard to find.
Many thanks in advance!
