<s>[INST] My son is 18months and gets a recurring red spotty, raised rash on his cheeks. one doctor said possibly ringworm, but i'm not convinced. Dactacort helped after a few days but maybe it just ran it's course? It has happened 3 time snow and once woke him up clearly in pain. [/INST] Hi... I feel it could be an eczema. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.But...kin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.  Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed)., </s>
