Suggest Treatment For Skin Rash
My two year old got her ears pieced in march. We cleaned them properly for the first 7 weeks. She had no issues. A few days ago I noticed dry crusty scaley skin around the back of her ear in a ring right around the hole. I peeled it off with tweezers. It didn t seem to bother her. The front of her ear looks fine. I have been back to cleaning them twice a day since I noticed it, but the back of the one ear looks really inflamed in the afore mentioned area and in a spot where the ear meets the back of her head. Is it an infection or some type of excema and how should we treat it??

Hi,
It seems to be infected eczema.
I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid antibiotic combination like Mometasone and Fusidic acid cream on the affected area.
This should resolve it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
