Suggest Medication For Rash On The Scalp And Body Of A Baby
My 18 month old has a pimple-like rash on the top of her scalp. The small bumps seem to be filled with pus and it looks redish and irritated. I took her to a clinic and the doctor just said it was cradle cap and gave me fucidin cream to apply to her head.. it's 3 days later and it looks no better, in fact she seems to have developed a slightly different rash on her whole body now. Can you help me?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a bacterial infection.
I suggest continuing using Fucidin cream as recommended by your doctor to treat the infection.
I also recommend using Calamine lotion to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
