16 month old just diagnosed with KP.. some questions?
hi everyone, my son has been recently diagnosed with KP.
the bumps started appearin on his face when he was 6 months old and have now moved to his arms/legs the past few months. The first derm i went to gave me a cortisone cream for his face and another cortisone cream for his body. it helped on his arms/legs a bit but did nothing for his face. i went for a second opinion to another derm who told me i shouldn't be using cortisone on my son!(I had no idea i wasnt supposed to but am not sure why that is??? can someone explain). I stopped using the cortisone. Treatment (is this right?): He said to use Epi-max(its an all purpose moisturiser with pure cetamacrogol cream BP with 10% glycerin) for his face and Epi-max plus (moisturiser for dry skin pure cetamacrogol cream B.P. with 10% glycerine plus 10% urea) for his body. Epizone for his face and body in the bath as a soap. Does this sound right? what sunblock should i use?? i am applying the lotions twice a day.. is this all i can do?? do these creams sound right? what about a loofah? any advice for a newly diagnosed child would be appreciated! thanks so much for your time!! |
