Not sure if it’s similar to my son’s condition but according to our family doctor, it’s called Septic Spots... It’s an infection cause by scratching etc and would require anti-biotics and application of a cream called Foban.. However best to bring ur LO to another PD to seek a 2nd opinion... My advice would best to avoid steroid cream if possible.. My son has bad eczema condition and steroid cream thins his skin + makes the skin rely too much till dependent on steroid in order to heal.. Thus we have been trying our best to avoid steroid creams as much as possible...

Yikes. Poor thing, hope your LO gets better soon. You may want to consider bringing her to a pediatric skin specialist if the problem persists.

You can try go to nearby polyclinic, ask for referral to KKH? Hopefully the specialist can clear your doubts. Well wishes to u and baby :)

I would suggest go and seek a 2nd opinion from another PD pretty quickly. If only for your own peace of mind.
