Facial Rash

[needadvice]

Hi,

I would love some advice!

My 20 month old daughter has had a rash on her cheeks for the last 2 weeks. Initially the doctor thought it was a food intolerance but it hasn't gone away despite cortisone cream, paw paw cream, sorbelene, you name it I've tried it!

It has never been itchy and she doesn't even know it's there. There is a smaller version of the rash on the back of her elbows which is also not itchy. It started off very dry and firey and raised up from the cheeks, now it's flush with her face and not at all dry. Her cheeks feel perfectly normal, but it's almost as if the rash has scarred her face. It's looks scaly but is not at all dry anymore. Naturally, I just want it to go away so her gorgeous little cheeks are back to normal.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I'd try pure aloe vera gel if you haven't already. Otherwise there are good reports on Rose Hip oil for scarring from acne and burns - might be worth a try.

If there is no improvement after either of those, maybe it's time to see a dermatologist.

My little one had similar dry cheek rash issues, I found sorbolene and time helped.
