eczema

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
DS1 got sent home yesterday after the daycare provider noticed a patch of dry skin on the top of his head.  When she discovered a bit of it in his diaper she called us and said it may be ring worm.  We called the doctors office and the nurse said she is 99% sure its eczema and he does not need to come in.  We have put diaper rash cream and lotion on it.  It looks like it is healing a little bit.  I have never had ring worm so I am wondering.  Isn't it painful?  Like wouldn't he cry if it was bothering him?

    Itchy, but not really painful. I don't really think he'd be crying over it, though.

    also do you need a doctor's note to clear him to go to daycare?  just a thought since they sent him home.

    No I didn't. Thankfully cause I would have been sitting at the doctors office fuming.

    DD had eczema that also looked like ringworm all over her scalp. Aquaphor and Aveeno didn't touch it. Cerave worked miracles. The bodywash and cream.
