spots

My 3 yr old daugther has dry flacky spots on her rear and thighs and a few around her pelvic area. Sometimes she gets them on the back of her neck and back. When it goes away it leaves dark spots where it was dry. It is very ichy to her. I've taking her to the doc. They have examed the spots, done blood work, giving me creams. Creams never really work, blood work comes out fine.She has had this for about 1yr 1/2. I have never gotten a satisfying answer to what it really is. I'm very concern about it. If  you have a answer to what it might be, i would really apprecitated

Hi,

It could be eczema, sweat dermatitis, allergic reactions or eczema.

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. Maintain a good personal hygiene .

Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).

Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for the symptoms and a proper clinical examination.

Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how she is doing.

Regards.

Just a thought.....celiac disease or gluten intolerance (allergy to wheat, rye, barley) can cause a rash. Does she suffer from diarhea or stomach upset?
