Suggest Treatment For Permanent Cure For Cracked, Rash Underneath Ear.
Hi, my daughter has a cracked, rash underneath her ear lobe, where the lobe meets the face. Sometimes it goes away and sometimes it is an open soar. We have been given Desonide cream, but it really never cures it completely. What do you think the problem is? How can we cure it completely?

Hi Dear ,
As per your query your daughter has cracked, rash underneath ear . Well there can be many factors responsible for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis , scalp Psoriasis , Seborrheic dermatitis , atopic dermatitis or sking infection . I would suggest you to try to note down the things which exaggerate it like some food ( nuts and seas food ) , skin products or things like ear rings and avoid them , apply petroleum jelly on rashes and take bendryl twice a day . If condition doesn't improve or get worse then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically and take history . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment , medicated soap , topical immunomodulators and anti allergic medicine .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
