Reoccuring redness on hips
My son right when he was around 5 years used to have redness ariund hips area. After application of creams like flutivate or ebusome it went away but for last 4 months even after applying ebusome it is not going. We showes a dermatologist 3 days back who asked us to clean with pottasium permangnate water solution and apply an antifungal cream and stop ebusome. However it seems to have aggravated since and he is now complaining that it pains when he sits. What can be done to get an immediate relief and then cure it?
