My son has a rash on his face but it look like a bad bruise.He is only 3 months old. His doc told me that it is a rash and to just put hydrocortisone on it but I am so scared and it s so dark but he said not to worry but to me the cream is not working. This my first baby.

hi
this is more common in small kids of that age after birth, this is usually due to environmental & material adaptation, either for the clothing, water,soaps or sometimes unknown cause.
do not worry.
the treatment will be steroid topical application.
if it is not reduced, with hydrocortisone, please try with mometasone (momate cream) which is very mild on the skin with no side effects.
if the rash is not receeeding please take consult back to your treating doctor or the dermatologist.
all the best
take care.
