Itchy skin infection increasing area
My 3.10 year old daughter started with small circular red rashes on the lower back hip just above the buttocks about 2 months back .She used to itch terribly at night. We used ACID CHRYSO cream as per doc instructions. But the area of the infection has spread even further and she itches it frequently making it worse Now there seems to be the same kind of rash of her left leg thigh as well .As a pointer, I had eczema when I was 18 years old and it keeps coming on and off.
I have attached pictures of my daughter's infection for your reference.The one with the smaller area was how it was initially. The other one is the current situation
Any help in diagnosing this would really be appreciated
Thanks
