Ok thanks also I have a rash on my legs my doctor said it's keratosis Pilaris is there any way to help this ?

Answered by Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Welcome!! Salicylic acid & tazarotene cream

Detailed Answer:
Keratosis pilaris usually doesn't respond to treatment.
Various creams that are used with some benefits in keratosis pilaris are 2 percent salicylic acid cream and tazarotene cream.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Thats pictures is fhat what it looks like to you? Will anything help it? Thanks and ive also attached a picture of a mole if you could check thats my last thing its on my breast

Answered by Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Try salicylic acid cream & moisturising cream, mole looks fine

Detailed Answer:
The lesions on the legs are looking like keratosis pilaris.
I think salicylic acid cream 2 or 3 percent on the affected areas at night along with a moisturising cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire legs in the morning for 3-4 weeks would be beneficial for you.
I have reviewed the picture of the mole as well and it is looking fine to me.
I don't think there is any need to worry.

Brief Answer:
Looks like either eczematous rash or viral rash

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to either an eczematous rash or viral rash.
It doesn't look like a rash associated with meningitis.
Is your child having fever, headache, vomitings or any other complaints besides this rash?

No nothing at all she seems lively enough its just the rash on her cheeks do you think its anything to worry about ?

Answered by Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney (6 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
I don't think it is anything serious.
I would recommend you to apply a moisturising cream on her face 2-3 times in a day.
If the rash persists beyond 2-3 days apply cortisone cream on the rash twice daily for 5-7 days.
It should resolve.
