Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 9 month old baby girl has Red, slightly elevated blotches on her back just at and above the diaper line. They have been there for weeks and are getting worse. The dr said put aquaphur on it, which we have been doing . She has not been to the dr in 3 weeks. She doesn t seem bothered by the splotches. No other related symptoms but her appetite has gone down lately. Any ideas what this could be?
