Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of recurring rashes on the face and ears which could be due to allergic reaction of body and increased skin susceptibility of body getting infected.

Need not to worry. Avoid touching or pricking rashes as it will exaggerate your situation. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for patch test for allergic reaction. Start treatment after proper examination and diagnosis. Till then apply topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily at affected sites for 7- 10 days. Yes you can continue with your prescribed cream as well. Drink plenty of water. You should take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
