My 9 week old was diagnosed with ezcema and has an oozing smelly slime like substance constantly coming from behind her ears and in the creases of her neck. It smells really bad and never seems to dry no matter how many times I wipe it. What is going on with my baby? She was given an oral med for five days and a cream. It seemed to clear up while she was taking it. Right after, it came right back
Thanks for the question your description it seems that your child is suffering from Seborrhea dermatitis. Such child Chat Doctor.  Usually this condition subsides by the time the child reaches two years of age. Wiping will not help. These lesions are very itchy and scratching causes flaring of the condition. Keep nails of the child trimmed, always (they grow very fast at this age). Keep in touch with your pediatrician and skin specialist.
