Hi. First of all remove the plaster. The skin of children is very tender. Never use antiseptic solutions on suspected atopic dermatitis area, it can enhance the allergy. Consult a Pediatrician / Dermatologist for the proper treatment with the right dosage of antihistamines and steroids(if need arise) Give vit A and D as per your Doctor's suggested dosages and multivitamins. This condition usually settles well and can go away on its own with advancing age.
