Hi Dr., about 2 months ago, my baby (8 months old) started getting small acne on the body more on feet, hands, waist. and were itching and getting red. We visited a dr. and he said it's due to oil massage and gave different oil and lotion. We used it for 2-3 weeks but it didn't get better, then we visited another dr. who diagnosed it as scabies and suggested Permethrin treatment (for entire family) and we did it thoroughly. Acne got better but started happening again after two weeks, he suggested to repeat treatment. but same thing happened after two weeks. And again two weeks ago, we applied Permit for the 3rd time. It is happening again now. he said it's scabies only and no other treatment or diagnosis is there. I am not sure what to do now. Please help.

Rashmi GuptaMom of a 11 yr 7 m old girl6 months agoA. Associated with some kind of an allergy or infection you have to check with your doctor to have better clarity on this is on that basis only they can suggest you with some appointment as well as if any other oral medicine would be required to be given to the child
