The photo on the left was taken Saturday and the one on the right was today (Sunday) and my daughters (she’s 3) face seems to of become worse but not sure what it is and if I need to bother the GP with every that’s goi g on right now but it’s starting to worry me a little. Any advice or anyone know what it is and what I need to do etc very much welcome. Thank you in advance xx

If it’s worrying you I would put a call in to your GP. They might be able to diagnose over the phone after hearing the symptoms.

Thank you it’s just hard as it’s not bothering her and she doesn’t have a temperature x

Could it be allergies? Either to something she's eaten or to pollen. But I would consult a doctor. They can probably diagnose over the phone.

it looks like eczema, very dry skin x you should try aquaous cream or e45 x that always helped me but it can be affected by foods and heat ect x if you are worried go to you gp as im no doctor but thats what it looks like to me xx

Yeah I thought it looked like possible eczema too

It does look similar to an allergic reaction rash my son had. Has she had anything new or different to eat? I’d still call the doctor to check mind you!

I have had a video chat with GP and they have said it’s eczema and giving her some steroid cream thank you all for your advice and help xx

I’ve found Cetraben a help with eczema as well as the steroid creams. You can get it in Boots and most big chemists x

Thank you will get some if I can xx

I thought it looked like eczema. Our son has Atopic eczema. Did you GP prescribe cream? If not try asking your pharmacist, they're really good too 😊 x

She’s been given some 0.5% steroid cream and we got a tube of Cetraben to try. She has bad hay fever too thankfully as we are indoors so much she’s not been too bad yet. And thank you xx
