infection behind babys ears

edited April 2012 in Babies Health
I just noticed behind one of my daughters ears its completely crusted over. When I went to clean it its got infection underneath. Does anyone know what this is?

  • My sons ears were like that, and still do get like that sometimes... he has very bad eczema and has to see a dermatologist bc of it, it gets all over his head too. I would reccommend calling the doctor because if it is infected you might want to get an antibiotic cream.
  • Try hydrocortizone (sp?) Cream. My 4 yr old has had the same peoblem on and off since birth. Make sure after bath to always dry it good then after it looks all heeled put a scent free lotion on it.
  • If it's eczema, the cortizone cream is good like @mommyof3girls said, but don't use it if it's an open sore or infected! I'm with @mom2ing, are you sure it's infected?
