Its been a little over a week that my 1 1/2 yr old son has a small red circle patch on this left outer thigh. It stared off as a dry little dime size red spot, now is a little bigger and more flacky. I thought it was eczema because my daughter had eczema however it isn t and its the only spot he has. I m starting to get very concerned. What could it be??
Hi, Is the lesion itchy? Just a discoloration or is it a raised lesion? This can be a fungal infection (Tina), an insect bite reaction, or even part of eczema (can present with single lesion also). Depending on the cause, this can be treated with topical steroid or antifungal creams. If not getting down in 2-3 days, kindly see your doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
