12 Month Old With Eczema. Dirt Looking Substance On Body Creases And Behind Ears. Treatment?
I recently noticed my 12 month old son has some places on his leggs like in the creases that look dirty even though they are not. He has a place on one knee , several creases on his leggs and a little on his feet . He was not born with it it just appeared lately what do I need to do?? He does have cradle cap and some areas behind his ears that his dr said is eczema but I so worried about this dirty stuff.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Eczema requires systematic,multifaceted approach that consists of maintaining skin hydration,topical skin therapy with topical steroids applications and elimination of flaring factors like aeroallergens, allergic foods and treating secondary infections.
So consult your Pediatrician or Dermatologist for further information and proper management of your child eczema.
