Hi there.
A more detailed history/information will need to be provided together with some clear digital pics for a proper evaluation and treatment plan to be chalked out.
Do NOT use this cream especially in a child.
Presence of similar lesions in close contacts and other details like any co morbidities etc will also need to be checked
Some Lab tests eg KOH test may also aid in diagnosis and intervention plans.
Don't worry it appears to be easily sorted and strongly recommend an 📥 consultation or Online Consultation to take this forward.
Good Luck & Godspeed 🙏
