Skin condition - thoughts

DS1 has had this for quite some time. It goes very pale to very red.
Doc said they didn't believe it was psoriasis or eczema. He had a yeast rash on his bum and they thought this might also be yeast, but the cream didn't help.
Has anyone else had to deal with a similar condition? (I hesitate to call it a rash). It's primarily behind his knees, but he has a few spots elsewhere on his legs.
XPd on a couple other boards.

Re: Skin condition - thoughts
The docs didn't think it was eczema. (My first thought).
But we tried the hydrocortisone yeast cream on it when he had the yeast rash. It didn't help.
Straight hydrocortisone? No. Not tried.
He's got another appointment later this month. We will be asking their thoughts again, or for a referral to a dermatologist.
He seems to be itchy sometimes, but that is a very recent thing. It seems more red lately too.
It almost looks like a healing burn. :-/
I'll have a look at the pics CCM.
I'm glad (kinda, in a weird way) that someone else has seen this sort of thing before.
I can't even name all the creams/lotions/remedies we've tried.
I'm going to look up Desonide. I know I've had to take a different 'version' of a drug to get results, so I can see a cream being the same way.
Megan, I hope you get some answers.
