Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Small Child, Red Bumps On Inner Thighs, Bottom. Using Cetaphil Lotion, Cortizone On Eczema Patches. Cure?
my 26 month old daughter has firm red bumps that look like bug bites on her inner thighs and bottom. a couple of them are red around it. And she says ow if i put a little pressure on them. They are not hot to the touch though. we recently began treatment for eczema using .2% cortizone on her eczema patches , using cetaphil lotion on her whole body and made changed to her body wash and shampoo. She says ow when i put the cortizone on them, so i have stopped.
It is very difficult to give any suggestion without having a look at the bumps that you are describing. They can certainly be bug bites but they are not going to have change with coritsone ointment. However if they are infective then cortisone can make them worse. I suggest that you consult your doctor who shall be in a better position to guide you further.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
