Child Experiences Stinging When Liquid Comes In Contact With Face, Gets Red Welts. Cure?

My 5 year old son since he was born when ANYTHING touches his face that is liquid like he gets red blotchy skin that he says stings when I try to clean it. At first when he was a baby it would be ketchup or dressing and now it has not gotten any better but worse. Now if he so much as wipes mucus across his face he gets red welts. Is this going to go away?????

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

He might be suffering from atopic dermatitis.

It is a chronic allergic condition.

Try to use plain petroleum jelly.

It is most non irritating thing.

He should get relief with this.

Also it will form a barrier so any chemicals wont come in contact with his skin.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
