Infant With Rash Behind Ear. Applying Bayer Bepanten. Not Cured. What Can It Be?
My 6 week old has a rash behind her ear, on her ear and on her cheek. All on one side of her face. When she nurses, she rubs on her ear (and behind) till it gets all red and inflamed. It is definatley very unpleasant for her. I have used Bayer Bepanten 5% ointment on her for the past 2 days but it doesnt seem to help. What can it be?

Hi ,
Thank you for your query..I hope there is no reason to worry.If you are applying some kind of baby oil on her body..please stop it.Apply a calamine lotion on that area thrice daily and give her a mild anti allergic drop. If this area is also crusting apply a mild antibiotic cream to that area.Don't apply powder over the area.Hope this answers your query.Wishing your child a speedy recovery.Have a nice day.
