5 Years Old, Scabbing, Bleeding, Discharge From Behind Ears. Applying Creams For Eczema, No Relief. Cure?
My daughter is 5. Behind her ears are scabbed, bleed, and ooze clear liquid. And her one ear gets so bad that sometimes it actually starts to heal her whole ear to the side of her head, and then it rips when it gets bumped and bleeds . The doctor just keeps giving her cream that she also puts on her egzima (sp?) But nothing is helping and the doctor is not helping either.

Hi Dear,
Thanks for the query,
First we should think of the scalp infection like seborrhic dermatitis. clear all this by some antifungal shampoo, Secondly Pediculosis (lice) is very common infection apply some permethrin cream and also shave . to clear this type infestation. and lastly some antibiotic like (cephlexin)should also be used to get rid of superadded infection.
I hope this three way approach will cure this chronic condition of your child
Thanks
