Red Bumps Under Arm, Over Chest. Eczema On Legs. Applied Hydrocortisone Cream. How To Cure?
Hi, My daughter has a rash under her arm and over part of her chest which started as small white heads and now are red bumps. She also has some eczema on her legs. The Dr said the pimply rash is also eczema and gave me 1% hydrocortisone cream. The rash is not getting any better. My daughter is 5 years old.
Any ideas what it could be or how to make it better. It is also itchy. Thanks

hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thank you for your query
it may be milia ,miliaria ,allergic dermatitis or viral infection
hydrocortisone is very mild steroid and has not much effect on many cases
she required potent one
it is better to consult dermatologist to rule out other condition
tell her not to scratch or pick the lesion
avoid sun and wind exposure will help her
i hope i answered your query
