Herbal extracts (best added in a fluid extract form), add 1-2 mls of each to say a 200g vit E base and apply topically 3+ times daily. Consider Chickweed, Calendula, Licorice, Arnica, Chamomile ( add no more than 5), along with a teaspoon of powdered vit C and another of powdered zinc, possibly a little magnesuim powder.

Until further help is sought avoid harsh soaps, exposure to cigarette smoke, spraying deoderants etc within the vacinity of the child, ensure soft clothing.

These adverse reactions occur very rarely.
