I have gone, but the cream they prescribed for her is not working for her. What is the english name for it please?

Take him back and tell him that the cream he prescribed is not working. Don't play games with your baby's health please. Take him back quickly.

There is one flower that mothers boil and use to bath the child. It is a very popular plant reddish in colour. My child had it and it worked for me

I don't know the Eng name. If u are in Lag take this picture (not necessarily the baby) to Oyingbo market and meet those market women selling 'agbo' (herbs) and show them the pic. They will give you herbs u ll use to bathe him and also the one he ll drink so the ones inside his body ll die.

thank u very much, but will the child also drink part of the boiled reddish flower Please what is the name of this flower?

This is the plant. I hope u can recognise it? You are to wash and boil, then use the water to bath the baby. Put a few drops in the mouth

That's likely impetigo. Take her to a doctor, preferably a paediatrician...

Oh, it happens a lot with kids specially during hot weather, it is called oso oku in my village, will ask for the remedy sha. My mum use to apply caraman lotion ( don't know if I got the spelling right) when it happened with our last.

Use what igbo people call Ori (Shea butter) mix with skineal inside a pot by heating in fire, keep in cool freezer for it to become solid and start rubbing on the baby. Thank me later.

Yes, this is the solution

There is improvement, but there is another side to the whole stuff. Old ones go away while new ones appear and along the line, the mother has also caught the same infection, what should she do

I think just ori (Shea butter) should do the magic. Regular usage

go and visit a pediatrician and forget about all these traditional /herbal method.

Forget all those home remedies that you are being adviced to try out because you can have complications that you would not even want. My advice, just like Prettyjo, is to see a doctor, preferably a paediatric dermatologist. But any paediatrician will do. That stuff requires system antibiotics, not just lotion now, dear.... Impetigo is known to be very contagious, and it usually develops wherever the fluid/pus touches. That's probably why the mother is now affected.

Looks like impetigo(medical name) to me. Start adding savlon to her bath water and i think it's whitfield's ointment that can help clear it. You can also google impetigo and see if the symptoms match.

Hope this helps

Calamine lotion. But that usually used for measles and some other skin rashes. This baby seems to have impetigo!
