Please help me, have you experienced this before or know someone that experienced it and how was it cure? Or Dr. Or health professionals In the house, what's the name and how can we cure it?

Thank you for your contributions

He should see a dermatologist
Take him to FMC or general hospital

ok, I will do that, thanks alot,

Not in the medical field. Looks like a fungal infection. Did you use any anti fungal ointment?...or local treatment? If indeed fungus...then whatever is used to get rid of "athlete's foot" ( kind of sore between the toes that forms a scab and tends to heal then breaks out again) should get rid of it . I may also want to believe it can be he's allergic to something. Before it first showed up ... what new food/lotion/cream was introduced to him? I'm saying this from personal experience. I used to have serious liver spots.. mainly on arms and back... will fade a little at times ...and come on heavy at other times....used Whitfield Lotion which will tone it down ..but not get rid of it. A few years later I stopped eating pork.... the lesion went away ... but never associated it with pork until months later I ate some food and when almost finished learned it had pork. The next day the spots showed up back and it was only then I linked the spots to pork and realized I was allergic to pork. This is why I'm suggesting it may also be an allergy .... was there a change in milk? ... keep dropping milk etc .... one at a time for a few days to find out if he's allergic to that item.

thank you so much, your second sentence, just reminded me what the last Dr we met said something about fungal but most of these guys only give drugs after examine him. Sorry to ask, The antifungal ointment is more effective or the local treatment? Which is local treatment? Can we combine both?

The anti fungal ointment is very effective...but the problem is can you get the better ones?...then would it be the original or fake? Because if this I'll advise you find the older local people who can help. Athletes Foot is common so they should know about it. Ask for the treatment for athlete's foot ...the not healing scab between the toes. They'll likely give you herbs to apply and not an iral treatment.

i just want to sincerely appreciate you. The anti fungal cream i bought was very effective. I actually looked out for original because of your statement above. Maybe we have been using fake or so. Or treated different thing. Its almost gone for less than 1 week treatment. Thanks alot

Thanks for the follow up. I'm speechless.... trying to figure out how you can go to a hospital... see in person who certified medical practitioners ... and they couldn't diagnose it was a fungal infection and prescribe an anti fungal cream. This is worrisome.

You said you went to hospital. Which type of hospital did you go to? You need to see a dermatologist in a teaching hospital. Don't just go to any hospital. You need to preferably go to a Federal teaching hospital and ask for the department of Dermatology in order to see a consultant Dermatologist. If their is no Federal teaching hospital around you, then go to the state teaching hospital where you can see a consultant dermatologist. Don't just go to any funny hospital if you want your child to get proper medical attention. See a Dermatologist who is a specialist skin doctor. I wish your son a speedy and complete recovery in Jesus Name.

Is it painful?
Has he had chicken pox before as a child? If yes then this might be shingles.
Shingles are Reactivation of chicken pox virus.

Answer my question above and I'd tell you how to treat him if its shingles

Reach out to me, I'll help you.. I just can't post the remedy here

We need more information. Duration. Recurring or progressive? Itchy, painful? Any similar history in family? Interventions done so far and response to them? Any aggravating or relieving factors? What about the other arm? Same lesion there?

Try Cetaphil cream.

Highlight recommended by dermatologist

That definitely fungal infection. Could be very stubborn. Use bitter to wash the affected area. Scrub it very well. then squeeze the juice on the affected area. By the time you do that for a week, you should see a positive result.

Looks Like Allergy!
Stop giving him Goat Meat and Fish especially Stock Fish for a Few Days and see what happens?
I also tend to have Rashes whenever i eat Stock fish.
Its an Allergy i think.
Try and stop giving him Fish and Goat meat for a few days and see the results

Ruff the surface with emery paper, rub nixoden tube morning and evening, for like 4 days, then thank me later...

Buy Neuskin.

Also use Ori

It's a fungal Infection from the image you shared

TAKE HIM TO A DERMATOLOGIST or A LABORATORY for test and diagnosis!!! Nairaland is NOT a medical centre . I don't know when you people will finally get this into your heads

You are healed...

Open your eyes

change the soap he use to bath. Most of these cheap soaps cause fungi growth and ringworms on your body. use medicated soaps for like a week. I recommend you use original dudu osun soap or use black soap[ose ibile for like a week}
