Treatment For Red Sores, Dandruff, And Flushed Cheeks Of Child?

My 10 year old has broken out in what the doctor originally diagnosed as eczema. The sores have grown larger, redder and cover pretty much her whole body. Some are scaley. Also, she has really severe dandruff, large patches of super flakey skin some of which are raised up. Her pediatrician is now treating her for a skin infection. I have also noticed in the past 2 days her cheeks will suddenly become really flushed but no fever. Any idea?

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Probably the doctor has given a steroid injection, probably due to that, there is a flush on the cheeks.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist, for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms grisofulvin, vitamin A, and a mixed steroid ointment.
Give her more of green leafy vegetables,pulses,sprouts,and protein rich foods to have blood,general health and resistance against infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
