Skin peeling near neck area
Hi Dr
My baby is 5 months old. We noticed Her skin near neck area became dry rough followed by skin peeling 3 weeks back.
We consulted paediatrician and she said its fungal infection where she gave us candid b and dk gel creams to apply.
But now we see again skin becoming rough and skin peeling same like it started. We are worried about it . Pls help us why its repeating again

Avoid candid-b due to steroid content. Dk gel can be used in the neck area. Also moisturization can be done.

This is rather more likely to be atopic eczema. Consult a dermatologist rather than a pediatrician for better management
