   It sounds to me that you’re bathing her too often and drying her skin out. I’d let her go a day or two between baths, just sponge bathe her. Use lots of moisturizer on her. My twins had spots like that when they were babies too and the doc said I was bathing them too much. Other than that, I don’t know.

   You might want to try using Arbonne International Baby products. All are made with minerals and botanical, so there should be no reactions to the products. You can get back to me and I can send you some information about our products. We carry several lines of Pure Safe and Beneficial products. No animal byproducts or mineral oil in our products.

   It may be excema-which is just a dry skin condition that is treated with cream. Also, i wouldnt reccommend bathing her in too much soap becuase that can be drying out her skin and thus making her itch. Try putting baby lotion (Johnson and Johnson) all over her body after a bath to ensure that her skin has enough oils in it because dry skin is VERY itchy.

   I would suggest clotrizamole cream (generic) or Lotrimen AF (in the jock itch section of the drug store). If trying it on an area seems to help, then her problem might be a systemic yeast (Candida) infection.
   Since the doctors haven’t helped, this would be one thing to try out.
   If it is Candida, then have your daughter checked for hyperinsulinemia, because yeast cannot grow to a symptomatic state unless the body has an imbalance of some sort, and hyperinsulinemia is the precursor condition for diabetes, and other blood sugar imbalances.
   For basic information on hyperinsulinemia, check out http://www.hufa.org.

   buy hypoallergenic laundry detergent with no perfumes. same for fabric softener. and try all-natural soap with no petroleum ingredients or alcohols, same with lotions– available at health/natural food stores. if none of this works, try homeopathy.

   do you have any pets? this is my first thought, also, fleas or bed bugs maybe or allergic to something in her clothes or what you use to wash them. does she go outside? if so, maybe something in the grass or land she goes in. try calamin lotion, witch hazel might dry them out, or benydryl for the itching. I would also try another doctor because I am sure they should be able to find out what is going on. try removing one food from her diet each week or so and see if anything works. try a different cloths detergent, make sure any carpets are clean if she is crawling around, watch anything she may come in contact with, also, consider perfume or cologne that your or your husband might be wearing. check anything that she may come in contact with or eat and get her to a new doctor. Hope this helps.

   If there is nothing else, I would start eliminating one food at a time from her diet because it may be an allergy. Also if you have carpeted rooms, try not to let her touch the carpet for a week or so and see what happens. Capet does have a lot of micro organisms that could irritate her skin.

   hi, i am a dermatologist…by ur history i guess ur child is developing atopic dermatitis.pls consult a competent dermatologist.get her Ig E levels done and the complete blood profile.
   try to maintain a diet profile and exclude those which r exacerbating the disease.
   u can use a emolient in the morning like a emoderm cream or atogla cream.
   try to give quick baths with luke warm water…dont dry the skin, apply a moisturiser immediately after bath.dont use OTC creams or cosmetics.
   pl get the diagnosis confirmed..ok its a must.all the best

    I don’t have kids, so I’m not sure if it’s safe to use on children that young or not…Have you tried Calimine lotion on her? Ask your doctor if it’s ok to use it on her…hopefully that will help

    More than likely it’s excema my one-and-half year old has it. It shows up in the face back of knees, thighs, feet and abdomion. Is the area raised spots or purple? then it could possibly be mumps(if this is suspected check and see if there is a rash on the cheekbones or jawlines, and bring her to a doctor). But if it is just a flat red area, I bet it is excema. Sorry to let you down but excema isn’t cureable, but can be treated by using non-perfumed or colored cleaners on your child and ANYTHING that touches her skin. It’s a pain yes, but I have seen a great improvement in my daughters skin. Hope it helps

    I don’t know how to make it go away but, have you tried using Calimine Lotion to relieve the itching. It helps for exposure to Poison Ivy and other toxic plants so, it may help give your daughter some relief too and possibly stop her scratching.
