Sore Skin Creases
in Baby
My DD has red patches in her armpit and elbow creases, behind her knees and in her neck creases. She also suffers from really dry skin.
The HV has given us Cetraben Emolient cream which works fabulously on her dry skin, but not her sore creases. I think it makes them stay damp and sticky.
I always dry her really carefully after a bath, but was wondering if a bit of talc would help in these areas?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

My daughter has got a harness on permanently for a few weeks for her hip so her legs are bent out at the sides all the time so she's got creases constantly and they've started looking a bit sore so I put a bit of sudocrem and it really helped.

God sorry not coz of your little girl but I'm having the same with emily. The doc prescribed her cetrabam last week for her mild ezcma and oh my god did it make the creases behind her legs so so sore!! I was quite shocked at how overnight her tiny ezcma patch turned into a huge spread across the whole back of her leg. When I went back to the doc and suggested it was because it was too greasy and the area needed to be dry she said no it needed to stay moisurised. Anyway sorry for my ramble but i have found sudocream on her creases really good as it's a much thicker dryer cream.
Hope she gets better soon hon
