Question : My 8 month old son keeps rubbing his feet probably due to itching. We are applying Eumosone cream as per pediatrician's advice after medical examination. But even after applying it, he keeps crying while rubbing the feet. Also he is getting small red spots/pimples on his face, legs and hand. Any advice for this?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for writing to us on HCM.
I have reviewed the history and seems your son is having some allergic rash or scabies.
For better clarity I would request you to post some clinical pictures. You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY
with subject titled ' ATTN Dr Hardik Pitroda'.
Also provide following history points:
1. History of itching in other members of family?
2. Have you noticed him itching or crying more frequent during night compared to day.?

Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
