What Causes Rashes In The Form Of Line From Knees Towards Buttocks In An Infant?
Hi. my son, 20 mos, has an ezcema condition on his skin ever since he was born. but today i noticed He s got like a rash or allergy, it looks like a trail line. he s got a trail line going from behing his knees up to his buttocks and the other line is going from his ribs sides going towards his belly. I wonder what is it?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of rashes in the form of line from knees towards buttocks which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can cause pimple. It could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. Need not to worry. You should maintain complete hygiene and wear loose clothes. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cream containing azelaic acid , apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , antibiotics like clindamycin , anti inflammatory or anti fungal . Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
