I need some help/advice. So my son is now one month old. At his 2 week appt I noticed some bumps around his face his pediatrician said not to worry it was just baby acne. well over a period of 2 weeks it's like a full blown rash on his face and ears with peeling skin... we went to his 2 month check up Friday and his doctor just said put hydrocortisone 1% on it 4 times a day and it will clear up. he didn't tell us what kind of rash it was or anything. so Saturday I'm noticing my son's skin peeling... its dead/dry skin all over his onsie... I'm looking at his face and now he has blotches that are totally different from his regular skin. has anyone had this happen or any suggestions of what I should do?

Well yes take him to the dermatologist instead then. If it anything it is too strong and they will give you something for babies.

I also have eczema so I thought that could be it... i think the hydrocortisone had something to do with the peeling and the skin change because before I started using it, his skin was fine just had a rash... hydrocortisone is also a steroid and could be too strong for him... I've used it on myself. I just wish I knew exactly what it was my pediatrician was no help @shan548

I have had this all my life. My was eczema. I have a creme they make me put on because mine is a seasonal thing mostly winters and summers. My family thought it was acid but when I was in Elementary they finally took me to a dermatologist and found out what it truly was. My skin color comes back after using the cream for a while so try a dermatologist because my pediatrician couldn't tell us what it was just kept sending us in circles. You can't tell anymore after I use the cream and it works miracles. I don't wear make up so I was happy it clears up eventually.

Yeah it looks like a rash but i would still follow up with his doctor to make sure

so it's not vitiligo? and simply from the rash and the hydrocortisone @newmommyamber
