Reason for child s ear lobe which is swollen?
Patient: my baby s ear lobe is swollen. She sleeps mostly on that side, but not sure why it s swollen. The only thing I can think of us that I wiped her ears too much or too hard. It looks like there s a little bit of sticky stuff on her skin. She also has baby acne, anything i can do for that? Doctor: Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern.  The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.But, skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
