Help with my nine-month old's facial rash??

Thanks for reading. Several weeks ago, my baby developed a small, round, red rough patch of skin on her face. I tried using several things to get it to go down, but it kept getting worse. Recently it spread to her cheeks and became crusty %26amp; inflamed. I took her to the first doctor, who said it was a bacterial infection %26amp; prescribed oral antibiotics %26amp; cream. The next day it was worse, so I took her to another doctor who said it was eczema %26amp; to use a moisturiser. The next morning she woke up and her eye was swollen %26amp; red, so I took her to a third doctor, who said it was school sores (which it isn't). He said to stop the antibiotics %26amp; use steriod cream. He suggested oral steriods if the cream didn't work %26amp; since a cream wouldn't help the eye, I asked for the oral, which seems to help temporarily. My question is, what is it really and what causes it to flare up? I just think it's getting better and then out of nowhere, it flares up again! No doctor can tell me what's causing it!|||Is it around her mouth? It sounds like a "drool rash." My son gets it when he is cutting new teeth. It is no big deal. When he was young, a dab of hydrocortisone helped a lot, but now he is old enough to stick his tongue out and lick, I am afraid to use that. I use a little petrolem jelly (vaseline or aquaphor) to form a moisture barrier, especially when he sleeps. Try to keep any drool wiped during the day. I know it's hard. If it is a drool rash, it'll go away when the teeth come in.|||It sounds exactly like eczema, and she will just have to outgrow it, and might not ever outgrow it. There is a little girl in my son's class I've known for years that has it bad on her face and she is now 6.


Sorry i'm not much help!|||Go back to the basics, baby soap and water. For the time being, do not touch her face and no kisses on the face, kiss her behind her ears :) Try this for a few days and see if there is any improvement. I've also used A%26amp;D ointment on my son's face, a very very small amount (the clear / not the white kind).|||I'm not a doctor, and I haven't seen the rash but it sounds like eczema to me. My daughter gets it all over her body in the winter months. Good luck with it. I know how uncomfortable she is when it flares up. My daughters doctor gave us a cream that is very expensive but works like magic. Of course you wouldn't want to use it aroung the eyes, it's probable the cream your doc offered.|||Do thesbumps have white heads in them. If they do it might be a staph infection. I think if I were you I would go to a skin specialist and see what they say. Hope that things work out for you.|||I was going to suggest that maybe it was an allergy to dairy. Have you changed her formula recently or just started her on formula? Are you making her food with cows milk? The other possibility is has the brand of formula you usually use changed anything? phone the customer service number on the can and ask? Sorry cant diagnose the problem for you but merley help with finding out what could be causing it. Good Luck in solving this, I hope she gets better soon.
