My son has been having this skin allergy or infection for the last 15 days, and I'm really worried because it seems to be getting worse instead of better. The pediatrician suggested using Permite ointment and Opox dry syrup for a week, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you please help me understand what's going on and what we should do next?
