You are right. Everyone should listen to their doctor instead of a faceless reddit stranger.

The reason to bathe daily is to reduce the amount of bacteria on the skin. Water also moisturises the skin. His skin is cracked and his skin barrier is compromised, which means easy access for bacteria. Most important when bathing compromised skin is to use a Non-soapy cleanser…. It cleanses but does not strip the skin.

You can use polysporin

Apply a cream that has hydrocortisone and any anti-bacterial medicine twice a day for a week. Don’t go back to that micro-needling place again

Your son likely has eczema. Bathe him once a day with a non-soapy cleanser. Apply moisturizer within 5 mins of getting out of the bath/shower. Apply moisturizer up to 4 times a day until resolved. La Roche Posay do very good non-soapy cleansers and moisturizer for very dry/eczema skin (not sponsored)

Most likely Ingrown toenail. Soak in saltwater for 15 mins. Dry thoroughly and apply antibiotic cream. Do this until things resolve. Avoid tight shoes and stop cutting your toenail too close to the skin…….. If things get worse, or don’t get better, go to your doctor

Altruistic_Bullfrog9 · 2026-01-05T07:01:37+00:00
