Atypical Diaper Dermatitis

Abstract: 9 week old infant with recalcitrant diaper dermatitis.

HPI: This child has had a dermatitis which began in the napkin area at ~ 1 month of age. He has been treated with topical Nystatin, clotrimazole cream, Aquaphor and Maalox. No response. New lesions have appeared around umbilicus and neck. His paternal grandfather may have psoriasis.

O/E: There is a sharply demarcated erythematous dermatitis in the pubic, perineal and perirectal area. The umbilicus is involved and there are a few patches in the neck folds. The child is otherwise healthy in appearance.

Clinical Photos:



Diagnosis: I am suspicious of psoriasis or a psoriasiform diaper dermatitis here. This is so well-demarcated and the umbilical lesion may be a clue. I have started him on triamcinalone 0.1% ointment after bath and will reevaluate in a week.

Questions: What alternative diagnoses would you suggest? What may I be missing? Would biopsy be helpful?

  1. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd,HPV,Cancer, Hepatitis,Shingles, Diabetes,Epilepsy,Infertility, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
