Hello. My baby has had a rash on his leg for the last couple weeks. Sometimes it looks as though it s getting better but then the next day it s back and red. It s rough and has a few circular spots but more spread out like a rash. I m not sure if it s from the detergent or what exactly. We live in a very hot and dry area so could it be from the weather? How can I treat this?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of rough rash on legs which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can these symptoms. It could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. Need not worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and Chat Doctor.  You should avoid touching or pricking rashes.  If condition doesn't get better than 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 antifungal. Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
