My one year old son has a rash on his face. I have looked at several pictures of rashes and none seem to fit. They are the size of dimes, look like blotches, more circular than anything. They are not raised and are uniform in colour (red). They also appear randomly on the rest of his body. There are about five on his face all on the left cheek. A few months ago they covered his back and only his back and have since disappeared only to resurface on his face. He has a twin sister and she doesn t have any blotches so it doesn t appear to be contagious. Please help. Thank you
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might have developed fungal infection. Your description matches with that. Usually fungal infections are itchy and recurrent. Please get a KOH mount done, This can confirm the fungal etiology. Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals. Treatment must be continued for at least a month to prevent recurrence. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. Thank you
