What Causes Redness And Dryness On The Cheeks With A Sore Lip?
Hello. My 5 year old boy has red dry skin on his cheeks. He has had a sore lip for a few weeks now, but seems to have developed a dry skin on his cheeks. Have been putting moisturiser on but don't seem to be fairing. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks
Hello Welcome to healthcaremagic From your description what I can make out is that your child is having eczematous dermatitis. It needs low potency steroid application in very small amounts locally for 7 days and then taper off. Simultaneously good moisturizer should applied daily 3 times a day.No touching or kissing on face.Kindly consult dermatologist. It takes longer time to go Regards
