Problem description:Hello doctor! The child was one and a half years old and had dry eczema a year ago. I applied medicine to him. Later, white spots appeared on the place of dry eczema, and the skin on his face recovered within a few days, that is, the little belly. Did not disappear. There are similar leukoplakia on the child’s egg and buttocks. I went to the city hospital to see it. The doctor said it was a hypopigmented spot, and the ointment prescribed has not been effective. Is the reason why the butt is always bad? Is it the reason why the child wears diapers?

Question analysis: From the picture, the hypopigmentation caused by this situation should not have much to do with diapers. Since eczema has occurred before, it may be related to the rash. Judging from the drugs used, the current treatment effect is not good. Don’t use it anymore. Because the most likely cause of this situation is not dermatitis, but fungal infection.
Guidelines: For example, the most common form of tinea versicolor is hypopigmentation of the skin caused by fungal infections, although it is currently not 100% diagnosed. However, antifungal drugs can be given to children. For example, ketoconazole cream, first find a few small areas and apply it for a while. If you can see results, then consider applying large areas.
