Dirty looking skin

mystenamarina · #1 Feb 22, 2007, 01:21 PM

My child gets patches all over her body but especially behind her ears and on her neck/chest where it looks like she is dirty. The patches aren't raised, though a little dry feeling, and don't come off with soap. I have actually had to scrub with rubbing alcohol and a loofa. This hurts my daughter. Does anyone know what causes this and/or how to treat it?

If it looks like on a link provided, it is only a bacterial infection nothing serious.
Dont scrub it, go to a doctor and he will give you a cream.
It gets worse if it is exposed to wather, because than bacteria reproduce.

No, her skin looks more like actual dirt caught in the creases of her skin.
