Intertrigo There is a reddish discoloration and rashes that is super itchy on my 6 months old baby's neck. He scratch himself to the point he starts to bleed there. I took him to his doctor and he said its intertrigo(eela in yoruba) and all the cream and medicine prescribed didn't clear it... I have used all sorts of creams, powder and oral drugs that seems to work in the first few days but later get worsen.... Pls help me with what I can use to get rid of it permanently, it breaks my heart to see my little boy in such discomfort when he is super itchy there

This term for Eela more commonly refers to a skin disorder called Infantile seborrheic dermatitis (henceforth referred to as ISD). The cause of this disorder is unknown. This rash may be due to child’s response to some organisms in the oily areas of the body namely the scalp, eyebrows behind the ears, or on the neck, cheeks, chest skin folds and diaper area. It's most common in babies under 6 months.
