Suggest Remedy For Rash Under Neck Of A Child
Question: My baby has rash under her neck
Brief Answer:
It may be an eczema.. can you upload image please
Detailed Answer:
Hi..by what you quote I feel it could be an eczema or skin allergy.
I would like to know the age of your kid and also since how long it is there.
Was there any fever?
As skin conditions are best diagnosed after seeing them I suggest you upload images of the area here.
If its eczema - The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
