Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes On Hands And Legs

Hi,
I have a 2 year old with a history of eczema. She usually has the red rashes on her hands, legs, feet, and sometimes small areas on her face. She now has a red, crusty rash behind both ears that is painful but not itchy. It even bleeds sometimes. What is it? And how do you recommend I treat it?
Thanks for your advise in advance.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
The symptoms you describe are due to a mild skin infection. This can happen sometimes in this location. Keep it clean and apply an over the counter antibiotic ointment 3 times per day. If you don't see improvement after 7 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
