What Could Be The Red Rashes On The Baby's Skin?
Hi-I have a 16 month old son.While he is full of energy he seems to be having some skin diseases from the time he was 3-4 months.1st it was the cheeks-which was rather red,then these red patches with what looked like red pimples were noticed on his thighs.2day I saw red patches on his back.Took him 2 a doctor who prescribed Clamist syrup,Eclospan ointment,and Dermadew lotion.What may be his problem-is it serious ?

Thank you for your query. He has allergic dermatitis. It is predisposition to bronchial asthma,allergic reactions,urticaria and etc. You should find cause and treat him. He should get examined:
-stool culture and sensitivity to antibiotics;
-Ig E;
-stool for cyst and ova;
-stool analysis.
I suggest -follow hypoallergenic diet(avoid chocolate,nuts, flavored sweets,preservatives,tomato soup,semolina and ets);
-probiotics(Darolac for 1 month)
Best regards
