A member asked:

My 4 year old has a red rash around the inner elbow area. it doesn't appear to b ringworm.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rashes: Are hard to diagnose without being seen. A rash in the inner elbow area could be eczema. You can try coconut oil or aveeno (oatmeal) lotion and see if tat helps. You can also try over the counter steroid creams. Before you do anything take a picture to show your doctor in case none of the above helps and yo need to be seen, .
