Avatar m tn My 5 month old baby has had a horrible red rash on his cheeks and chin for a few weeks now. My derm is telling me it's eczema and to apply desonide ointment to it. My problem is my baby rubs his eyes, cheeks and mouth while he sleeps. We put socks on his hands but he is CONSTANTLY rubbing. I know if if I apply desonide to his cheeks as the derm. tells me to that he WILL get it in his eyes and mouth. They tell me it's safe. Can someone please reassure me that this is safe.
Avatar m tn There is a sharp line on both cheeks demarcating the normal area from the affected area. I wash with cetaphil face wash and afterwards the areas are extremely dry and flaky. I'm thinking its either eczema or seborrheic dermatitis? Any advice would help! I have seen my GP and he advised me to stop using anything for a week and to come back and see him. He hasn't made a diagnosis yet.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I first got an allergy to using a sunscreen. My forehead and cheeks broke out in a face rash that had small red non itcy bumps. That went away but then I have some larger itchy bumps that won't go away. I don't think they are an infection it is related to the allergy. I am only washing my face with Cetaphil and then adding 10% glycerin for some hydration to these spots. Glycerin is a natural substance found in the body and I don't think that is causing a problem.
Avatar f tn im 25 weeks pregnant and i think i have eczema my cheeks really itch especially when it gets hot they turn really hot and ive been scratching and now they burn any moms have this problem
Avatar n tn s very uncomfortable to sit on and hurts if I try to look at it. It even hurts if I bend in such a way that it gets stretched. It's not oozing now but it has in the past. I've had them on-and-off for three years or so and it just came back last month. I've seen a doctor for it, but oddly, he didn't look at it at all. Just felt through my boxers and diagnosed sonic therapy which did nothing.

437027 tn?1670266352 My friend has an 8 month old with what is probably eczema on her cheeks. I had seen a post about this at some point. Does anyone have any adice or anything they have tried and had good results with?
Avatar n tn I have a rash on my face that started about 4 days ago, I don't know what it is but it is REALLY itchy, It's mostly concentrated on my cheeks, and forehead. Mostly my cheeks though, and it extends to my neck and ears. I do have a history of mild acne which has occurred on my forehead and chin but nothing to this extent. I'm dark skinned, or more like tanned so when i get acne i do have hyperpigmentation. Would cortisone help? If not is there any medication you could suggest.
Avatar m tn Hello, my cheeks began to become red a few weeks ago, then a rash began to appear(only on my right cheek first however it soon started to happen on my left), I tried fucidin cream on it because it was similar to a rash I had on my hand a while back, now it would somewhat go away but then it would come back again, now it's worse as my forehead has become extremely irritant, I've tried DiproBase cream on both my cheeks and forehead however they just become scaly.
3183132 tn?1344613043 Hi! Recently patches of skin on my: chin, cheeks, forehead, the area in between my eyebrows, and the area underneath my nose (above my mouth) have become pinkish-red, dry, sore, and inflamed. I've put Neosporin and moisturizer in all of these spots, but it has no effect. It always hurts, and I can't figure out what's wrong! It looks almost like a rash, but I'm really not sure. Thanks!
Avatar f tn My 9 month old grand daughter has a rash on her cheeks. She first had several small round circles of bumps on her arms, thighs, calves, and ankles. She didn't get them on her tummy, chest or back. She will still get these and they are always iseem to be in a circle. In the last 3 months she has had a raised ugly rash on her cheeks. It looks so painful. It almost looks like she has been burned. Her pediatrician has given her a prescription for Nystatin. It didn't help. The dr.
Avatar f tn t know if any of that is related to his cheeks but i threw it in! Oh he has started munching on his hands quite a bit and drooling all over them. Too early for teething isnt it? lol Oh the joy of new first time moms.
Avatar m tn Hi, This could be an eczema or atopic dermatitis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. It is basically a skin inflammation which is caused due to genetic predisposition and environmental factors, allergy being the most important factor.
Avatar n tn I had unprotected sex with this guy about 2-3 weeks ago and a few days later i started getting all of these small itchy bumps like flea bites ALL OVER my inner thighs and inside of my butt cheeks.They itch really bad!! I noticed now that there are a few on my stomach.I looked up herpes and the pics look NOTHING like them. I thought maybe he had bed bugs or something but why only in these two areas?
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been diagnosed first with keratosis pilaris then an allergy and lastly eczema. I have some sort of red brown spots on the cheeks only (you can see the attached file).And during summer it disappears. Coud you tell me what you think by the picture?
Avatar f tn I'm female and 22, and recently I have had a flare up of a pimple-like rash on my face. It starts as lots of little pimples all over my jawline and cheeks, all appears overnight. (I should also add that I have dry skin usually, and never get pimples) Then after the pimples are gone (1-2 days) it just turns into a warm, bright red patchy rash, which is shiny and swollen.
Avatar f tn It appears around my mouth, chin, and sometimes in patches on my cheeks. It is not rosacea. I have spent lots of money going to many dermatologists and they have no idea what it is. They/ I think it may flare up be my immune system when it's down, but are there any treatments I could use to help stop these random outbreaks? I use eczema cream, moisturizer, lip creams etc... My lips suffer it the worst with the rash being there 6/7 times a week.
Avatar n tn Hi could you possibly give me some insite into my sons skin, he is just 2 yrs old and suffering from very red inflammed cheeks with tiny spots,the doc says eczema a dermatologist says acne. He has no classic signs of acne no comedones nor are spots pustules. I have tried both very small amounts of cortizone and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide just on the spots butno better. can food intolerances cause this?
Avatar m tn i have had red cheeks my whole life, but around age 14 they started to feel uncomfortable like my cheeks were burning, i consulted a dermatologist and they told me that salicylic acid would work, all that did was irritate it and make it worse. This year every single night it seems to flare up more (get more red and feel much worse). Also during the cold, the heat and when i exercise they feel worse.
Avatar n tn Zyrtec can cause side effects like skin nodules, rash, pruritis (itching), acne, urticaria, photosensitivity reactions and eczema. So, the itchy red cheeks could be due to Zyrtec. Discuss your symptoms with your consulting doctor he may change the dose or the medications. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn My son has asthma and he was also diagnosed eczema. Often he breaks out with fine bumps on his cheeks, sometime on the back of his neck. I thought eczema was only rough dry skin, but since his diagnosis I have learned that it is bumps as well.
Avatar f tn When I was taking birth control I would get a dry skin rash on my cheeks and forehead. I quite taking birth control and it went away, my primary doctor told me it was an allergic reaction a couple years ago. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and my rash is back. I am taking allergy medivatipn but it is not helping. I can put lotion on at 7 am and my face will be dry again by noon. Does anyone else have this rash?. What do you use that helps with it?.
Avatar n tn hey, needed some help. i have cluster of bumps on my upper butt cheeks. they came about two month ago and were present for about a month and after putting some medicine on it (ecemza cream) it went away. when i wake up in the middle of the night i have a bad habit of always scratching my butt. probably 2-3 days ago, i was scratching my butt cheek and i noticed that the bumps seemed to be coming back in the exact same place. is this eczema? maybe herpes?
Avatar f tn Hello, From the symptoms it can be eczema or rosacea. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
Avatar n tn However, this could be keratosis pilaris, which is a very common condition in which there are numerous rough follicular spots on the outer aspect of the upper arms, thighs and cheeks, and less often on the forearms and upper back. It tends to be more severe during the winter or when humidity is low. It is genetic in origin but the precise cause has not yet been determined. Moisturizing regularly is important. If it persists, have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper managemnt.
