Hello Ma'am,
Have you tried applying cream to these lesions yet (moisturizer, cortisone, etc.)?
Also, what soap do you wash it with and how often?
31-year-old woman · 4 years ago
I use a cortisone based cream
and I use avene eczema soap
and rose posay sunscreen
by tale no change
I give him bath every day but washes every 2 days
He tells us his tummy hurts
where he has his patches
in his mouth too and he seems to have conjunctivitis or allergy

He also has patches on his stomach?
How long have you been using the cortisone cream and what is the name of the cream?
31-year-old woman · 4 years ago
Yes patches under the armpit and belly
the cream is called pdh-desonide

Super thanks for these details.
I think this is a sign that you need to see a doctor. Indeed, the fact that the patches do not go away despite the application of a cream of considerable strength anyway (Desonide) is a sign that the diagnosis should be reviewed (especially considering the appearance of patches under the armpit).
As the pandemic is causing great challenges in the doctor's office, perhaps you could try services such as Hello Health or Maple if your doctor cannot see you within a week.
I am sorry I cannot be of more help to you at this time.
Happy day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
