Eczema Like Rash Patches On Arms, Face And Upper Torso, Spreading. Using Triamcinolone. Tiny Bump On Thigh. Related ?
My 7 year old daughter has ecsema like rashy patches on her wrists, arms, face, and her upper torso. Treating with Triamcinolone .025% cream twice per day since Friday with little change, seems to slowly spread up her forearms a little each day. Tonight she discovered about a penny size red bump on her inner thigh that is painful to the touch. It doesn t have a center, doesn t appear to be a bite. Could the two be related? Should I take her for a follow up since we discovered the lump tonight and she went to the Dr. on Friday?

HI,
It seems your daughter has furuncle or bacterial infection of skin.
It can happen due to topical steroid use for eczema.
For such patients visiting my OPD I prescribe oral and topical antibiotics and antihistamics.
You need to visit your physician or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
