    I recently just got over the worst of mine, but i still have faded spots all over my body. If you havent taken her to a dermatologist i highly recommend it! I had multiple docs tell me they couldnt give me anything that would help so i finally went to a dermatologist after being covered for a couple weeks, they prescribed a steroid and some ointment with coal tar in it. I seen a difference in a couple days. Mine was so bad it also caused exzema along with it. The worst was on my jaw line/face and neck, but it was terrible on my stomach, back, i even had some in my hair, groin, just everywhere. The only thing with mine was it only started to itch towards the end when it was healing. The spots have turned into what looks like "brown sun spots" but with time i hope they fade. I wish i had gone to the dermatologist right away, he even asked what the doc gave me, i told him they said nothing would help so they didnt give me anything, he wasnt to thrilled they didnt prescribe even a steroid to try and help it.

    I hope your little one heals quickly, its a misserable thing to have, wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Good Luck!
