Cut like scar below ear of baby girl
Today morning i have noticed a ccut like scar below the ear of my 8 months old baby. She never cried or showed any pain symptoms for this... But due to hair she frequently keeps rubbing her scalp near year since she was born. Please let me know why and how this could have happened. And how to treat it.

greetings, it is intertigo. it is due to fungus dermatophytesand bacterial infection ininterdigital areas. yeast are also commonly found. yeast and candida may also be cause. key to treatment is drying it out and eliminating Bacterial infection. I have treated with gentian violet 1% locally 3-4 times a day. keep the environment clean and dry.
