Suggest Treatment For Aplasia Cutis Congenita In A Child
My grandson was diagnosed with Aplasia cutis congenita on his foot. He is now two years of age and the area affected has not healed because he keeps picking at the scabs. Is the anything we should be doing to help the healing process along. My daughter asked me for help on this matter and i am trying to get more information on how to treat him. I have pictures of his foot if you need them.
Picking and scratching are due to dryness. It's best to use a bland cream or petroleum jelly or even oil over the area. Also, keep it covered with socks or mittens as much as possible.
